Summary

[edit]
Description

Cholera is a disease of poverty. Caused by bacteria that leads to severe diarrhea and potentially death by dehydration, it is spread by drinking contaminated water or by eating contaminated food. While it can be easily treated if caught early, many people fear that, without access to clean water, the people in Haiti who remain cut off from help could die or be debilitated by the disease.

The CDC team in Haiti is working especially hard on providing clean water and adequate sanitation, as well as monitoring for the disease.

In this photo, Jean Robert, Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) resident, performs rapid diagnostic testing for cholera at a cholera treatment center in Jérémie commune in Grand'Anse department, Haiti.
