Cholera is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium that affects the absorption of water in the small intestine.
In severe cases it produces violent diarrhoea within only a few days. The dangerous aspect of cholera is the vast loss of fluid that can occur in a short space of time. It is particularly dangerous in children in developing countries.
If untreated, the loss of fluid can be fatal within 24 hours of developing the disease. On the other hand, treatment is simple: replace the fluid with the right mix of sugar and salts - water alone is not adequately absorbed.
However, bad cases do require admission to hospital where fluids can be administered straight into the bloodstream via a drip.
Cholera is not really a tropical disease, but is related to standards of hygiene and the quality of drinking water. It was a single well in London in the 1850-60s that was the source of several separate cholera epidemics.
