Abstract

Epidemic cholera appeared in Peru in January 1991 and subsequently spread to Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, and Guatemala. Cholera can be a severe, life-threatening illness but is highly preventable and easily treated; however, few health-care practitioners in the United States have experience identifying and treating cholera. This report provides an update on cholera in the Western Hemisphere and provides recommendations on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cholera in the United States.

摘要

1991年1月，霍乱在秘鲁爆发，随后蔓延至厄瓜多尔、哥伦比亚、智利、巴西、墨西哥和危地马拉。霍乱可能是一种严重的、危及生命的疾病，但它极易预防且易于治疗；然而，美国很少有医疗从业者有识别和治疗霍乱的经验。本报告提供了西半球霍乱疫情的最新情况，并就美国霍乱的临床诊断和治疗提出了建议。
