Cholera

📋Overview

This bacterial illness is characterized by the sudden onset of profuse, watery diarrhea that can lead to rapid dehydration and electrolyte depletion. Transmission primarily occurs through the consumption of water or food sources that have been contaminated by the feces of an infected individual.

The condition remains a significant public health challenge in regions with inadequate sanitation and limited access to clean water. Clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic or mild symptoms to severe illness that requires prompt medical monitoring to manage systemic fluid loss.
