[Social-economic expenditures for the liquidation of cholera in a big city]

While making a cost-assessment related with one cholera disease case, the authors suggest to take account of the damage inflicted on the health of patients with other pathologies (apart from cholera) by the failure to render them the ambulatory and hospital medical care, which results from that the medical staff at large focus primarily on curing the cholera patients and on that the hospital beds (otherwise used for somatic patients) are preferably allocated for patients with cholera at epidemic.
