Cholera is an infection of the small intestine caused by the cholera bacterium, which causes severe watery diarrhea and can lead to rapid dehydration. It is typically contracted by consuming food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected person. While cholera epidemics are currently occurring in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, it is unlikely a person living in the United States would get cholera due to modern water and sewage treatment systems. Cholera can be fatal if not treated due to dehydration, but oral rehydration solutions can treat the dehydration and antibiotics can lessen the severity of symptoms.

Helicobacter pylori
This document provides information about Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori):
1) H. pylori is a spiral-shaped, gram-negative bacterium that lives in the mucus layer of the stomach and was identified in 1982.
2) It can cause diseases like peptic ulcers, gastric cancer, and MALT lymphoma through production of toxins and inflammation.
3) Symptoms of H. pylori infection include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, weight loss, and heartburn.
4) Diagnosis involves invasive tests like endoscopy and biopsy or non-invasive tests like a urea breath test or stool antigen test.
5) Treatment
2) cholera
Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae which releases a toxin that causes violent inflammation and watery diarrhea in the intestine. It is transmitted through contaminated food or water, especially from infected feces or raw shellfish. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, and rapid loss of body water which can lead to death if not treated. Prevention involves early treatment, oral vaccines, and providing access to medical facilities to treat contaminated water and food sources.

Cholera
Cholera is an infectious disease caused by eating or drinking food/water contaminated with the Vibrio cholerae bacterium. It causes severe watery diarrhea which can lead to dehydration and death if untreated. While rare in the US, it is still a serious problem in parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America where sanitation is poor. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, vomiting, and signs of dehydration like rapid heart rate and loss of skin elasticity. Treatment focuses on rehydration through oral or IV fluids. Prevention involves drinking only boiled, bottled or chemically disinfected water and avoiding raw foods from contaminated sources.
Cholera Symptoms: 5 risk factors you should be anxious about
Cholera symptoms are usually mild, but in some extreme conditions, they can be fatal if left untreated. Cholera mostly prevails in poverty and places affected by natural disasters or war. People in these places live in crowded conditions, and they don’t have access to proper sanitation.
Cholera symptoms show its effects within a few hours of infection. In some cases, it may also take 3 to 5 days.
Cholera is a type of infectious disease that will cause watery diarrhea, eventually leading to dehydration. If it is left untreated, it can lead to death.
Cholera is caused by drinking water or eating food that contains a bacterium known as Vibrio Cholerae. During the 1800s, a large population of the United States was affected by cholera. But after the modernization of the water and sewage systems, the rate of this disease has lessened.
Usually, cholera symptoms are not severe. But sometimes, it may be serious as well. 1/20th of every cholera-infected person suffers diarrhea and vomiting, leading to dehydration.

Guidelines are provided on rehydrating children based on the severity of their dehydration and administering zinc supplements to help prevent future diarrhea episodes. The document emphasizes using oral rehydration solution for rehydration and only using antibiotics in specific clinical cases.
Cholera Romy W. (3).pptx
Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by the Vibrio cholerae bacteria. It rapidly multiplies in the small intestine where it produces toxins that prevent water absorption, potentially leading to severe dehydration. Common symptoms include profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, thirst, and leg cramps. The main treatment is oral or intravenous rehydration therapy. Cholera spreads through ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacteria and can be contracted from individuals infected with cholera through contact with fecal matter. It is a very rare disease in Canada but more prevalent in other parts of the world without access to clean water and sanitation.
Cholera
The patient, an 8-year old boy, experienced diarrhea and abdominal pain after returning from a camping trip. Examination found a fever and bloody stool. A gram stain of the stool revealed curved gram-negative rods. Vibrio cholerae is likely responsible given the patient's exposure through drinking contaminated water while camping. Complications of diarrhea include dehydration and malnutrition. Tetracycline can be given to shorten the duration of symptoms in severe cases.
