Cholera

Cholera was a deadly disease that appeared in 1861 during the Civil War. Many soldiers and other citizens died immediately overnight if they had the disease called Cholera because it was so deadly. There was no type of medicine or cure to help save their dangered lives. Poor soldiers' and citizens' lives were lost because of Cholera.

The cholera pandemic that began in 1817 is often referred to as the first cholera pandemic and lasted until 1824. It originated in India and spread to various parts of the world, particularly affecting Asia, Europe, and North America. Subsequent pandemics followed, with the second lasting from 1829 to 1851, and further outbreaks continuing into the late 19th century. Overall, cholera pandemics have historically spanned several decades, with significant health impacts.

The Cholera toxin is an enzyme that chemically modifies proteins in your body that involve regulating salt and water secretion. The modified proteins remain stuck in its active form, continuously secreting large amounts of salts int the intestines with water following (dude to osmosis). The excessive amount of water causes diarrhea and can kill a person from loss of water and salt.

As of June 2014, there are two types of vaccine for cholera. The first is Dukoral which is available in more than 60 countries worldwide and the second is ShanChol, which is available in India but is pending WHO approval.

Vibrio choleae is a bacterium. It is gram negative, curved rod shaped and has a single flagella. There are numerous strains some of which are responsible for causing the disease cholera.

Yes, Cholera can be treated and cured. However there is no vaccination, so even if you are cured, you could catch it again.

Cholera is treated by replacing fluids and electrolytes in your body which are lost by diarrhoea.

cholera affects the countries which have poverty & cannot afford clean water.

ie India Brazil and Peru.

You can cure the cholera by heavy infusion of the intravenous fluids. You may have to put two infusion lines with large bore needle or intracath or vasofix. You have to give ringer lactate solution with added potassium chloride in the bottle. Direct potassium chloride will kill the patient in no time. Give the fluid ruthlessly. You may give four liters of fluid in first hour only. You have to keep the heart rate to about 100 per minute and systolic blood pressure at about 100 mm of Hg. The fluid should be warmed to body temperature. Total non-touch technique has to be used to maintain the aseptic transfusion unit. Patient will not complain of thirst due to loss of isotonic fluid. But then his routine need of water is to be satisfied by giving him 10 % dextrose solution two to three litres per day. You can give him one ampule of multivitamin per day in dextrose solution. Once vomiting is controlled, you can give him oral re-hydration solution to save I. V. fluids. With proper and confident treatment the patient will not die. You may have to give up to 30 litres of fluids in say two days, apart from oral re-hydration fluids. You can give him injection oxytetracyline (Teramycin) twice a day for two to three days.

No. They are different diseases. In diphtheria you get a patch on throat. That was a serious condition. It is almost eliminated by universal vaccinaton. In cholera you get severe vomiting and loose motion.

Since Cholera is a disease that can cause severe dehydration, this can create issue with the kidney. In severe cases kidney failure occurs and sometimes this is not reversible. This is the only known long term effect of Cholera.

Cholera is harmful.

"Cholera is an infection of the small intestine that causes a large amount of watery diarrhea."

Potentially anywhere, you only need to have a dirty water (or food) supply that has the bacterium of cholera. Countries that you are likely to catch it in are probably third world countries with bad hygiene that could cause sewage to leak into water supplies.

Cholera is a diarrheal illness caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The toxin causes massive amounts of water to be excreted into the lumen of the bowel, thus producing copious watery diarrhea. The danger is not from the diarrhea, but instead from the dehydration it produces. Children and the elderly are especially at risk.

Name of Dr. John snow is permanently associated with the cholera. He was a physician in London. Dr. John Snow prepared the dot map of the cholera patients. He could locate the origin of cholera on Broad street (now Broadwick street) of Soho district of London. Almost all the patients had consumed water from one particular pump. Some monks from the area were not affected by cholera. But then, they did not used the water for drinking. But instead they used to consume beer to quench the thirst. The theory was not accepted immediately. But then, you can not hide the truth for long. Just like that, you can not hide the sun with your hands.

The vector (the way the illness is spread) is mainly through contaminated water. There are most likely other ways you can catch the bacteria, but contaminated water is where the index case starts.

Cholera is a disease that occurs through drinking or eating food or liquids contaminated with Vibrio cholerae . It affects animals and humans. Famous people such as Alexander Dumas(French author), Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky(Russian composer) and Adam Mickiewicz(Polish author) died of this disease although historians argue that Tchaikovsky infected himself purposely.

Good Question. The answer is cystic fibrosis is not contagious, however, people with cystic fibrosis tend to carry bacterial infections that can cause serious issues to other people with CF, so infection control procedures should be used when two or more cystics are around each other. General population folks need not fear of getting cystic fibrosis from others - it's a hereditary disease.

Cholera is a dreadful disease caused by unsanitary conditions found along rivers which pioneers stopped to camp at. It is caused by contaminated water. They do human waste on the rivers and they drank the water. They threw animal carcasses on the river which they drank. They threw food on the rivers which caused the water in river to turn into an contaminated water which they drank caused cholera. Sadly, the emigrants did not realize that they will get cholera from the contaminated water.

depending on the resources, verrrrry slim

Type your answer here... viral infection

The male Reproductive System (penis)

hahahahaha ,

dude it has to do with the small entestine and causes death from dehydration

so id say it'd be like the digestive system ?
