How can we control the disease Cholera
Control: Individuals infected with cholera require oral rehydration therapy with NaCl plus sucrose, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride to stimulate water uptake by the intestine. The antibiotics of choice are a tetracycline or aproflaxin. The most reliable control methods are based on proper sanitation, especially of water supplies. The mortality rate without treatment is often over 50%. Medical treatment to prevent dehydration prevents all complications.
