in severe cases intravenous fluid and antibiotics are also employed, World Health Organization estimates that there are between 1.3 and 4.0 million cases annually with 21,000 - 143,000 deaths (, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are between 3 and 5 million cases annually with over 100,000 deaths (, It can be metabolically active or be dormant during adverse conditions, Bacteria may infect seafood or be spread to human water sources causing disease; fecal oral spread also occurs, In the developed world, cholera is very rare, Endemic disease is defined as disease that occurs during 3 of the past 5 years where there is no evidence of imported disease, Cholera is endemic in around 50 countries mostly in Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Outbreaks or epidemics are defined by the occurrence of at least 1 confirmed case with endemic local transmission where the disease is not usually encountered, Epidemics emerge periodically; currently an epidemic is ongoing in Haiti (, Haitian epidemic is related to an encampment of Nepalese peacekeepers sent there after a catastrophic earthquake who were based at a United Nations camp; the UN has recently taken responsibility for this epidemic (, Affects populations with preexisting immunity, More often affects children from 2 to 15 years old, May be spread by ingesting food or water or the fecal oral route, Affects all ages of a nonimmune population where the bacteria does not have a reservoir, Spread is fecal oral with high secondary spread, Disease is most common in the developing world; in the developed world disease is generally encountered in travelers and immigrants, Rarely disease occurs from ingesting contaminated seafood, a phenomenon rarely associated with seafood from the Gulf of Mexico, Hypochlorhydria caused by drugs or chronic, Infection is more common in summer months, In endemic areas, breast milk contains protective IgA antibodies, Symptomatology occurs due to production of an exotoxin encoded by a virulence phage that causes the small intestine to secrete fluids and electrolytes, Toxin has two A subunits and five B subunits, Two A subunits, A1 and A2, are linked by a disulfide bond, Through several steps, intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate opens the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator and chloride ions are released into the lumen while chloride and sodium ion reabsorption is inhibited by cAMP, There is affinity of the toxin to the ganglioside receptor on enterocytes that is higher in patients with blood type O, Hemagglutinin is necessary for bacterial detachment and shedding in stool, Symptomatic cases have an incubation period of 12 hours to 5 days, Severe disease is characterized by sudden onset of profuse watery diarrhea often described as having a "rice water" character sometimes preceded and usually followed by vomiting, Patients are anxious and rapidly become dehydrated with sunken eyes, dry mucous membranes, thirst and loss of skin turgor, Other signs and symptoms include tachycardia, hypotension and muscle cramps, Untreated cases may rapidly progress to electrolyte disturbances, renal failure, shock and death, Rarely "cholera sicca" occurs where patients have ileus and abdominal distention but lack diarrhea; fever is uncommon, Children may suffer from hypoglycemia, seizures, fever and altered mental status, Coinfection with other pathogens may occur, Microbiologic culture is the gold standard and may confirm other testing methods, PCR and real time nucleic acid sequencing are available, In epidemic settings, bacteria have characteristic chaotic movements when viewed by darkfield microscopy and an immunochromographic dipstick test is available, Testing to determine serotype and antibiotic sensitivity is necessary, In the United States, all cell isolates should be sent to the CDC via state health departments, Elderly and debilitated patients have a worse prognosis, Pregnant patients do worse and have a high rate of fetal loss, HIV infection confers an increased risk of acquiring disease, Man in his 40s with cholera and acute renal failure (, 56 year old man with cholera and acute renal failure (, Most patients are successfully treated with oral rehydration solution (ORS); treatment should begin promptly, Patients with moderate to severe disease or who cannot tolerate ORS should receive intravenous hydration, With severe disease, antibiotic treatment is indicated to reduce fluid requirements and disease duration, Quinolones, trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, doxycycline, erythromycin and azithromycin have been used; antibiotic resistance is common and antimicrobial sensitivity should guide treatment, Three oral vaccines are effective; vaccinations should be given to populations in disease "hotspots" and travellers at high risk of acquiring disease, Zinc supplementation reduces disease severity in children in resource limited areas, Mucosa is normal or may show a mild neutrophilic infiltrate of the lamina propria, Clinically mild to moderate disease mimics many types of, Severe disease is due to bloody diarrhea resembling inflammatory bowel disease, Antibiotics are the initial treatment in most cases, Infection is primarily caused by exposure to household contacts.

Cholera is an extremely virulent disease that can cause severe acute watery diarrhoea. In the course of cholera pathogenesis, V. cholerae expresses a transcriptional activator ToxT, which subsequently transactivates expressions of two crucial virulence factors: toxin-coregulated pilus and cholera toxin (CT). 1, 8 January 2019 | The Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Follow us on social media for the latest updates, Future Science Ltd, Unitec House, 2 Albert Place, London, N3 1QB, UK, We use cookies to improve your experience.
