Abstract:
A surveillance system for cholera control was conducted in Hai Phong from February to December 1998 in Ngo Quyen and Thuy Nguyen districs. The isolation of V.cholerae from stool samples of acute diarrhoea on one fixed day per week was the index study. The result of the study contributed to improve the effectiveness of the surveillance system.
