An outbreak of cholera caused by Vibrio cholerae O1 Ogawa occurred in and around Chandigarh during July 22-31, 2002. Of the 303 patients admitted to two hospitals, 82 were confirmed by culture. Two rehabilitation colonies located at the periphery of Chandigarh were mainly affected. The isolates were biotyped as Eltor and were susceptible to many antibiotics. Thirty one (35.2%) of 88 water samples showed evidence of faecal contamination. The survey of the area revealed sewage contamination of the drinking water supply. The outbreak was controlled by providing safe drinking water to the people and correcting the defects in the sewage and water pipelines.
2002年7月22日至31日期间，在昌迪加尔及其周边地区发生了由霍乱弧菌O1小川型引起的霍乱疫情。在两家医院收治的303名患者中，有82人经培养确诊。位于昌迪加尔周边的两个康复聚居地受到的影响最大。分离株的生物型为埃尔托生物型，对多种抗生素敏感。88份水样中有31份（35.2%）显示有粪便污染迹象。对该地区的调查发现饮用水供应受到污水污染。通过向人们提供安全饮用水并修复污水和供水管道中的缺陷，疫情得到了控制。
