About this document
Cholera: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment by Iris Balino is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Cholera is an acute diarrheal infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It is typically contracted by consuming food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected individual. While most cases are mild, severe cases can result in rapid dehydration and death if untreated. Treatment focuses on oral rehydration with fluids and electrolytes to replace fluid loss. Antibiotics may also be given to reduce symptoms in severe cases.
