ABSTRACT
Cholera is an acute infectious disease caused by Vibrio cholerae . The disease occurs in a variety of forms ranging from sporadic cases to outbreaks that may transition to endemic disease. While cholera case management focuses on early, rapid rehydration, antimicrobial therapy can reduce the volume of diarrhoea, duration of carriage and symptoms and is frequently recommended for patients with severe dehydration.
