In Korea, five patients were infected with foreign flu last year, and it was the first patient to enter at the end of last month.
Globally, there are 16 cholera-contaminated areas (as of January 1), including India, Yemen, the Philippines, Zambia, Congo, and Nigeria.
Cholera spreads in contaminated water and food, such as groundwater and drinking water. Very rarely, they become infected when they come in direct contact with the stool or vomit of the patient or pathogen.
The incubation period is several hours to five days, usually two to three days.
Symptoms may accompany vomiting, especially during the sudden onset of water-soluble diarrhea without first complaining of abdominal pain and fever. There is also hypovolemic shock due to severe dehydration.
Oral or intravenous therapy to replenish water and electrolytes, and patients with severe dehydration can also be treated with antibiotics.
The mortality rate is less than 1% when the appropriate liquid therapy is given. But if you do not get treatment, this can go up to 50%. According to the CDC, it is estimated that between 1.3 and 4 million people die of cholera and 21,000 to 143,000 deaths each year.
