Abstract

Increment of the number of cases of diarrhea and occurrence of some positive culture of Vibrio CHOLERA in ARDESTAN in July, 1998 indicated an EPIDEMIC of CHOLERA. Occurring of the region at the main road of southeast of Iran to the Capital increasedimp0l1antof the problem: This study was cross - sectional and included two aspects: 1.Survery of hygienic state of the area, 2.study of patients and discovery of carriers and treating them. All of health - treatment personal were instructed about admission and treatment of patients and methods of sampling and culture of stool; also some teams were dispatched for surveying of waters of the area. Diagnostic and treatment equipments including culture and transport media, antiserum, ORS pack, infusion serum and ect. were sufficiently prepared. Stool culture was performed for all diarrhea patients and their family members. Whenever the culture of vibrio CHOLERA was positive, a special form was completed. Water of Moghar subterranean was contaminated with vibrio CHOLERA. primary source of EPIDEMIC was Moghar village, which occurs at the main road. Pipe watersupply of the area was intelTUpted2 days before the EPIDEMIC and people were compelled to consume the water of the subtelTanean.106(11%) out of 933 stool cultures were positive, which 50 and 56 cases were Ogawa and NAG, respectively. Males were affected more than females (54.7% vs. 45.3%). More Afghanis were affected than lraninas (63.2% vs. 36.8%). Age range was between8 month and 90years, and mean age was 23 years. Ogawa and NAG serotype did not significantly differ in regard to mean age and sex (p value= 0.2 and 0.8, respectively) but differed regarding clinical state of disease. kind of drinking water - supply, and nationality (p value=<0.0001, respectively).All of the patients were correctly treated and mortality was nil and the EPIDEMIC was controlled until late August. CHOLERA is a contagious infectious disease which as soon as the hygienic system was deranged can elicit an EPIDEMIC. This study revealed that only 2 days after interruption of sanitary watersupply of Moghar CHOLERA has spread and elicited an EPIDEMIC. Because of regional traveling of villagers and especially Afghanis who travel to different places for working, CHOLERA has quickly spread. Meanwhile, rest of the passengers beside the subterranean helped to spread of CHOLERA. With quick and timely measures, the EPIDEMIC was controlled and m0l1ality was nil.
