Cholera comes in epidemic. Patients come with acute onset vomiting and profuse diarrhoea. There is no fever and pain in abdomen. Typically, there is 'rice water' stool. The diagnosis is confirmed by culture of vibrio cholerae bacteria from the stool sample. In your clinical practice you get isolated patients of watery diarrhoea without pain in abdomen and no fever. You make a diagnosis of cholera like syndrome. You give tablet furazolidone 100 mg stat, fallowed by two tablet three times a day. Many times the loose motion stops abruptly, with first dose only. This gives you the presumptive diagnosis of cholera in a given case. This is fairly common occurrence in your clinical practice.
