In this study, we collected and analyzed the related Epidemiological data to determine Cholera Outbreak in Hadhramout, Yemen during the disease epidemic in 2019. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted according to screening rapid diagnostic and confirmatory laboratory culture testing methods for diagnosing clinically Cholera cases. Results: Suspected Cholera cases were tested by rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and 399 (50. 5%) out of 794 cases were determined positive, and 76(9. 6%) of them were confirmed by laboratory culture test (LCT) with statistically significant difference. Serotype V. Cholerae O1 was also detected in patients’ diarrhea. Females were the most affected by the disease manifested in 201 (25. 3%) and 43 (5. 4%) when tested by RDT and LCT, respectively, with no statistically significant difference. The highest proportion of Cholera cases (224) were reported in the age group less than 15 years (56. 1%) with statistically significant difference when tested by RDT, and 45(13. 3%) when tested by LCT with insignificant statistics difference.
