Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Doctors in the city have reported treating a few cases of cholera. Director of Public Health Dr B. Ravinder Nayak, when asked about cholera cases, said none had been reported in the state in the past few months. Doctors said these cases had been confirmed after cultures of stool samples of suspected patients were tested for the Vibrio cholerae bacteria. “Out of every 100 confirmed samples of such diseases, we are seeing 80-85 cases of salmonella that causes typhoid, around 15-19 of shigella which causes diarrhoea laced with blood, and one per cent of cases of Vibrio,” the doctor explained. The World Health Organisation lists cholera as an “extremely serious disease.” According to WHO, it takes between 12 hours and five days for a person to show symptoms after consuming contaminated food or water.
