Explosive diarrhea!! This is a 29-year-old that was infected with the bacteria Vibrio Cholera. He ate contaminated food and drank contaminated water 24 hours prior to admission and presented at the emergency room with the worst projectile watery diarrhea that quickly became voluminous. He also had an low grade fever, abdominal cramps, and distention of loops of small bowel as a result of the large volume of intestinal secretions. Cholera is a highly infectious bacterial disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It spreads through contaminated water and food, particularly in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. Cholera leads to severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration, often resulting in rapid fluid loss and electrolyte imbalance, which can be fatal if left untreated. Effective treatment involves rehydration therapy and sometimes antibiotics. Improved sanitation and access to clean water are critical for preventing cholera outbreaks.
