Kathmandu: Three persons have been detected with cholera in Kathmandu on Sunday. The persons from Kalimati area were tested positive for cholera bacteria at the National Public Health Laboratory, Teku.

Chief of Health Office in Kathmandu, Dr Arjun Sapkota, informed that those suffering from the disease were receiving treatment at Shukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital.

“A team has been mobilized to study how the bacteria-borne disease was spread. We’re alert on not letting it spread further,” Dr Sapkota added.

Earlier, seven persons were detected with cholera in a correction center of Lalitpur.

The disease might have spread due to consumption of contaminated water in the wake of monsoon rains. 

It is worth noting that a few days back, polio was found at Teku, a confluence of Tukucha rivulet and the Bagmati River in the Kathmandu Valley.

The doctors have urged everyone to maintain proper hygiene with consumption of pure drinking water and sanitation in place. 

Diarrhea, nausea, dehydration, yellow urine, and sunken eyes are some of the symptoms of cholera. If the persons suffering from these symptoms are not treated on time, they may succumb to it.
