Overview:

Since October 2010 Haiti has experienced a severe outbreak of cholera- the first in more than 100 years.  Since then cases of cholera have been imported into the Dominican Republic and the United States. Although cholera is unlikely to spread significantly in the United States, more imported cases are likely to occur.  Since treatment of cholera may be life saving, clinicians in the United States should be able to recognize and treat cases of cholera.Please join us for this informative COCA conference call where an update on the current cholera situation in Haiti, and the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of cholera will be discussed.
