Infection is associated with water from the holy well of Bermel Giorgis in the Kvara region, which is popular among the pilgrims of the Ethiopia, Ethiopian Orthodox Church. In January, five patients visited Ethiopia and the rest were drunk or washed with the water brought by the acquaintances. The analysis showed that water was very infected with Vibrio Cholerae O1 bacteria – a strain resistant to many antibiotics, including fluorookinolones and macrolites. Cholera is an acute intestinal disease that causes severe diarrhea and dehydration that can lead to death without treatment.
The European Disease Control Center said that the well was in the area of cholera epidemic that became complex due to an armed conflict. This complicates sanitary measures. Experts warn that new cases are possible until the source of infection is eliminated.
