The clinical manifestations are severe diarrhea, vomiting, a lot of rice-like excrement, water and electrolyte disorder and peripheral circulation failure, and severe shock may be complicated with acute renal failure. Due to the rapid epidemic of cholera, high morbidity and mortality during epidemic period, and great harm, early and rapid diagnosis is of great significance for the treatment and prevention of the spread of the disease. Cholera mainly occurs in summer and autumn in China, and the peak period is July-August. At the end of 2004, the death toll from the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami exceeded10.5 million, and cholera was the largest epidemic in the hardest hit areas.

Cholera is an acute intestinal infectious disease caused by Vibrio cholerae.
Clinical manifestations range from mild diarrhea to mild diarrhea. Severe cases vomit a lot of rice swill-like excreta, causing severe dehydration, acid-base imbalance, peripheral circulation failure and acute renal failure.
Cholera has been endemic in the Ganges Delta of India since ancient times, and there have been six world pandemics in the hundred years from 18 17 to 1923. In the fifth epidemic of 1883, Koch first discovered Vibrio cholerae from the feces of Egyptian patients. 1905, Cotschlich isolated a Vibrio cholerae-like strain named Vibrio El-tor from the corpse of pilgrimage to mecca at EL-Tor quarantine station in Sinai Peninsula. Later, this disease caused by Vibrio Eirto was called paracholera.
Because the morphological and serological characteristics of the two vibrios are basically the same, and their clinical manifestations and prevention are also the same, the15th World Health Assembly decided on May 1962 to collectively refer to the diseases caused by the two vibrios as cholera.
The disease was introduced into China from 65438 to 0820. Before liberation, every time a world epidemic was introduced into China, it caused hundreds of epidemics. After liberation, it almost disappeared. However, in recent years, contact with foreign countries is frequent, and it is easy to introduce from abroad again.
