'''Cholera''' is a [[diarrhea]]l [[disease]] caused by intestinal infection with the [[bacterium]] ''Vibrio cholerae''. The infection is often without [[symptom]]s, but often it can be quite severe. Approximately one in 20 infected patients exhibit profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. In these persons, rapid loss of body fluids leads to [[dehydration]] and shock. Without treatment, death can occur quickly. <ref name="cdc">http://www.cdc.gov/nczved/dfbmd/disease_listing/cholera_gi.html</ref>
