[An epidemic of cholera in the prefecture of Gisenyi. Epidemiologic, clinical and bacteriologic aspects].
An outbreak of cholera occurred in the Prefecture of Gisenyi, Rwanda during the last two months of 1987. From the bacteriologically confirmed cases, the authors report the epidemiological and clinical aspects of this epidemic. Their conclusions show advisability of following each case, the absence in certain patients of the classic symptoms. The efficacy of the prophylactic measures of a single dose of Fanasil taken on contact of patients is disputable.
