The Causes, Diagnosis, and Current Course of Medical Care for Cholera

Abstract

Vibrio cholerae-containing contaminated water is the main way that cholera is spread around the world and has done so for generations. The seventh pandemic of cholera, which began in the 1960s and is still continuing strong today, is thought to be the one that has been going on the longest and is responsible for millions of deaths annually. With two of its strains, V. cholerae O1 and V. cholerae O139, known to cause cholera, a deadly diarrheal disease that has repeatedly plagued the world in pandemics since 1817 and continues to be a public health problem globally today, Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) are a Gram-negative, curved, rod-shaped bacteria. According to projections, India has 1.6 cases of cholera per 1000 people each year, or 40 cases of acute diarrhea for every 1000 people. There are more than 200 serogroups of Vibrio cholerae based on somatic antigens, and the epidemic strains O1 and O139 are among them. This review article discusses the pathogenesis, aetiology, medical treatment, diagnosis, risk factors, and signs and symptoms of V. cholerae.
