Abstract:
The epidemic situation in a remote region of Daghestan at the period of the cholera outbreak in the republic is considered with the use of concrete examples. The analysis of cases of cholera, as well as Vibrio carriership, at the period of August 5 to October 5, 1994, is presented. The territorial and temporal separation of different cases of the disease and Vibrio carriership were indicative of the periodic import of the causative agent to the territory of the town and the region from other places, unfavorable with respect to cholera, without the involvement of the water factor of infection transmission. Timely and complete antiepidemic measures prevented this infection from acquiring the character of developed epidemic.
