1. Introduction
In a region, the basic conditions for senation do
not always exist. It is these precarious conditions that create people's
malaise, that is, illnesses. This English work talks about infectious disease
in my region (Inhambane), a disease called cholera. It is important to go
around this disease highlights four aspects to treat, namely: disease
conceptualization, symptoms, forms of treatment and prevention measures. It
should be noted that this work presents the following elements in addition to
the introduction: development and conclusion.
2. Cholera
Cholera is an acute contagious bacterial intestinal
infection caused by the lack of sanitation in the environment, personnel and
with the food we consume.
This disease can become especially problematic
during the rainy season, when homes and toilets flood and contaminated water
accumulates in puddles.
2.1. Symptoms
Symptoms usually appear two to three days after
infection, but they can appear within a few hours or up to five or more days.
Cholera infection is usually mild and asymptomatic, that is, it has no
symptoms, but sometimes it can be severe, resulting in diarrhea and nakusea or
vomiting as common symptoms, and in other instances abdominal pain leg cramps.
2.3. Treatment
measures
Patients with this infection can receive their
treatments especially in the hospital by collecting stool samples or vomiting;
After the diagnosis and confirmation of the infection, the cure is done in two
ways: through the oral administration of liquids and solution of oral
rehydration salts (ORS) or intravenous fluids, depending on the severity of the
case, but some measures can also be used homemade as is the case of drinking
boiled water.
2.4. Ways of
prevention
Usually preventing this disease is simple, but it
requires the personal and collective action of the community, that is, it is
necessary to adopt some personal hygiene care and safe consumption of water and
food;
It is always necessary to cover the toilet so as not to attract flies, if you do not
have the toilet we must bury the feces;
Avoid defecating only in the open air and/or in
water;
Drink and use clean water;
Wash hands with water and soap or ash whenever
preparing food, before meals, after using the toilet;
Wash food thoroughly before eating.
Put garbage in the proper places and keep them
clean;
3. Conclusion
Being in a region surrounded by diseases, man is the
key element that can intervene in the situation, showing his role in the
community, applying his technical and scientific knowledge.
It is important to emphasize in this work that
cholera is a possible disease to prevent and reduce the risk of contagion, but
this depends on the effort of each node to sanitize the environment in which we
live, take care of the food we consume and have clean habits personal. However,
when this disease is not promptly treated, severe dehydration can occur,
leading to serious complications and even death.
