These symptoms cannot be ignored.
Recently, WHO experts announced a new outbreak of a dangerous disease that for many years did not remind of itself. We are talking about cholera, the death rate from which in some countries has already exceeded the norm. In an exclusive interview with Utro-Novosti, an infectious disease specialist Elena Meskina told how to recognize the disease in yourself.
The expert said that the dangerous symptoms of cholera in the first place can be attributed to the departure, but in no case should they be ignored:
The most common symptoms are vomiting and severe diarrhea. This is a serious condition, you need to go to the hospital. Then comes the coldness of the extremities, clouding of consciousness, the person is disoriented in space, feels a terrible dryness in the mouth.
The expert urged not to underestimate the danger of the disease:
Of course, it’s not the flu or the coronavirus. The infection is transmitted through water, dirty hands, and not by the respiratory route. Therefore, it is less infectious. However, the disease can cause very severe fluid loss – if it is not replenished in time, it is easy to die.
