    WE ARE GONNA BE
    DISCUSSING AND OBSERVING
    THE TRANSMISSIONS,
    SYMPTOMS,TREATMENT,
    PREVENTION
    TOWARDS/AGAINST CHOLERA
    AND HEPATITIS
    CHOLERA
    WHAT IS CHOLERA?
    CHOLERA IS AN ACUTE
    DIARRHOEAL INFECTION
    CAUSED BY INGESTION OF
    FOOD OR WATER
    CONTAMINATED WITH THE
    BACTERIUM VIBRIO
    CHOLERAE. CHOLERA
    REMAINS A GLOBAL THREAT
    TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND AN
    INDICATOR OF INEQUITY
    AND LACK OF SOCIAL
    DEVELOPMENT.
    HOW DO WE
    RECIEVE OR GET
    CHOLERA?
    WE CAN RECIVE THIS WHEN A
    PERSON CAN GET CHOLERA BY
    DRINKING WATER OR EATING FOOD
    CONTAMINATED WITH CHOLERA
    BACTERIA. IN AN EPIDEMIC, THE
    SOURCE OF THE CONTAMINATION
    IS USUALLY THE FECES OF AN
    INFECTED PERSON THAT
    CONTAMINATES WATER OR FOOD.
    THE DISEASE CAN SPREAD RAPIDLY
    IN AREAS WITH INADEQUATE
    TREATMENT OF SEWAGE AND
    DRINKING WATER.
    WHAT ARE THE
    SYMPTOMS?
    HERE ARE THE
    FOLLOWING!
    CHOLERA IS AN EXTREMELY VIRULENT DISEASE
    THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ACUTE WATERY
    DIARRHOEA. IT TAKES BETWEEN 12 HOURS AND 5
    DAYS FOR A PERSON TO SHOW SYMPTOMS AFTER
    INGESTING CONTAMINATED FOOD OR WATER (2).
    CHOLERA AFFECTS BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS
    AND CAN KILL WITHIN HOURS IF UNTREATED.
    MOST PEOPLE INFECTED WITH V. CHOLERAE DO
    NOT DEVELOP ANY SYMPTOMS, ALTHOUGH THE
    BACTERIA ARE PRESENT IN THEIR FAECES FOR 1-10
    DAYS AFTER INFECTION AND ARE SHED BACK INTO
    THE ENVIRONMENT, POTENTIALLY INFECTING
    OTHER PEOPLE.

    HOW DO WE
    TREAT OR
    CURE IT?
    CHOLERA IS AN EASILY TREATABLE
    DISEASE. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE
    CAN BE TREATED SUCCESSFULLY
    THROUGH PROMPT ADMINISTRATION
    OF ORAL REHYDRATION SOLUTION LIKE
    DRINKING 1 LITER OF CLEAN WATER TO
    TREAT IN AN IMMEDIATE STATE AND
    PROGRESS
    HOW DO WE
    PREVENT CHOLERA
    HAPPING IN OUR
    BODY?
    A COMBINATION OF SURVEILLANCE,
    WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE,
    SOCIAL MOBILISATION, TREATMENT,
    AND ORAL CHOLERA VACCINES ARE
    USED.
    MOVING ON TO
    HEPATITIS NOW!
    WHAT IS
    HEPATITIS?
    HEPATITIS IS AN INFLAMMATION OF
    THE LIVER THAT IS CAUSED BY A
    VARIETY OF INFECTIOUS VIRUSES AND
    NONINFECTIOUS AGENTS LEADING TO
    A RANGE OF HEALTH PROBLEMS, SOME
    OF WHICH CAN BE FATAL. THERE ARE
    FIVE MAIN STRAINS OF THE HEPATITIS
    VIRUS
    HOW DO WE
    GET
    HEPATITIS?
    HEPATITIS A AND E ARE CAUSED
    THROUGH CONSUMPTION OF
    CONTAMINATED WATER AND
    FOOD. HEPATITIS B, C, AND D
    USUALLY OCCURS THROUGH
    CONTACT WITH CONTAMINATED
    BODY FLUIDS
    WHAT ARE THE
    SYMPTOMS OF
    HEPATITIS?
    HEPATITIS B AND C INFECTIONS
    CAUSES CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE,
    VIRAL HEPATITIS LEADS TO
    INFLAMMATION OF THE LIVER
    WITH SYMPTOMS OF NAUSEA,
    VOMITING, FEVER, DARK URINE,
    AND PALE STOOLS.
    VACCINATION IS THE
    MOST EFFECTIVE WAY
    TO TREAT HEPATITIS,
    HOWEVER, ANTIVIRAL
    MEDICINES, AND A HOW DO WE
    FIBER RICH DIET ALSO
    HELP TO FIGHT THE
    TREAT
    DISEASE. HEPATITIS?
