A second outbreak of cholera, due to the Ogawa strain, occurred in the home for Mentally Handicapped Children in Nonthaburi between July 29 and August 9, 1992. An outbreak of cholera due to the Inaba strain was reported in the same institution and season tin 1987. In 1992, the clinical attack rate was 8 per cent of 440 children; there were two deaths. Bath water was contaminated with Vibrio cholerae O1 E1 Tor Ogawa, the same strain as was isolated from the ill children. Chlorination of the water supply, obtained from an underground well, was insufficient. The water supply needs further investigation, and the sanitary conditions in the institutions should be improved.
1992年7月29日至8月9日期间，北榄府的智障儿童之家发生了由小川型菌株引起的第二轮霍乱疫情。1987年同一机构和季节曾报告过由稻叶型菌株引起的霍乱疫情。1992年，440名儿童中的临床发病率为8%；有两例死亡。洗澡水被霍乱弧菌O1埃尔托小川型污染，与从患病儿童身上分离出的菌株相同。从地下井获取的供水氯化处理不足。供水需要进一步调查，机构的卫生条件也应得到改善。
