We report a new outbreak of cholera on the beginning of last Summer (Dec. 91 and Jan 92). Were 281 patients, 63% male and 36% female, treated in our Cholera Unit of treatment; all of them coming from marginal-urban populations. There was a rate of lethality of inpatients of 0.46% and a mortality of 0.25% over the total of patients that we saw in our hospital; on this summer the outbreak is early and greatest than the summer of 1991. We can conclude that because of epidemic behavior during the whole 1991 and in the time elapsed of 1992, Peru has become an endemic zone of this new disease, while the current epidemiologic settings stay unchanged.
我们报告了去年夏初（1991年12月和1992年1月）霍乱的一次新爆发。在我们的霍乱治疗单元有281名患者接受治疗，其中63%为男性，36%为女性；他们均来自城市边缘人群。住院患者的致死率为0.46%，在我们医院所见的全部患者中的死亡率为0.25%；今年夏天疫情爆发早且比1991年夏天严重。我们可以得出结论，由于1991年全年及1992年过去这段时间的流行情况，秘鲁已成为这种新疾病的地方性流行区，而目前的流行病学情况保持不变。
