Le nombre de victimes du choléra risque d'augmenter exponentiellement.
Haiti cholera deaths rise sharply
The number of people known to have died from a cholera epidemic in Haiti has increased markedly.
Health officials say 105 more people have died since Saturday, bringing the total to 442.
They said there had been a 40% jump in the number of new cases.
Aid agencies fear the outbreak could worsen further, if heavy rains associated with Tropical Storm Tomas hit the island.
Doctors warned that torrential rainfall could flood sanitary installations and contaminate drinking water.
If it continues along its current path, forecasters expect Tomas to make landfall in Haiti on Friday.
South Asian strain
On Monday, the US Centers for Disease Control found that all the Haitian patients had the same strain of cholera, one that is most commonly found in South Asia.
The UN is investigating allegations that excrement from Nepalese peacekeepers caused the epidemic.
But Health Minister Dr Alex Larsen said it was unlikely the outbreak's origin would ever be known.
Haiti had not seen a cholera outbreak for about half a century, and initially many people were unsure of what steps to take to avoid the disease.
Doctors say poor sanitary conditions after January's earthquake made the country vulnerable to cholera, which is caused by bacteria transmitted through contaminated water or food.
Jocelyn Pierre-Louis of the Haitian Health Ministry says almost 2,000 people have been taken to hospital with cholera infections since Saturday.
The total number of cases now stands at 6,742, according to the authorities on the island.
Cholera causes diarrhoea and vomiting leading to severe dehydration, and can kill within 24 hours if left untreated.
It is easily treated through rehydration and antibiotics.

"It is easily treated through rehydration and antibiotics."
This is a paradoxe I don't understand.If it could be easily treated why so many people are dying?

Doub
Your answer would be valid during the first few days of the epidemy if we didn't have all these ONG and a public health Ministery.I hope this epidemy gives you the understanding of the lack of structures that is so prevalent in haiti to protect the people.Security is not only a question of arresting or killing delinquants.There are other risks also such as the one the haitians are experiencing right now.Before we build barracks for soldiers we need more hospitals , more health centers throughout the country to prevent such epidemies.
We need to give priority to food, potable water, electricity,health care, education, housing. work, justice,the management of feces etc .We need to stock enough food and medecines to sustain the people in case of a disasterWe should not depend on the CDC to tell us where the strain of the cholera came from.

Hum! les événements par eux-mêmes semblent nous indiquer les besoins impératifs de la population. W pa ka gen yon popilasyon ki sot pase 10 ane lan detrès e sa ap kontinye pou se lajan nèg ap pale pou dirijan lan jete. Pa enkyete'n non, anpil fwa se lan jete lajan lan projè ki pa fini ou ki pa rantabl ke n'ap tande yon seri de nèg ap di ke se volè yo volè lajan. An reayalite, se lan chanjman kondisyon vi popilasyon yo, se lan kadr sante edikasyon, bagay ki a la baz, ke nou ka wè pi devan.
Shit! se pa de vernis ke nou dwe diskite. Prevansyon! prevansyon! prevansyon! anvan branlba.
