Hypovolemic shock
Native to the Ganges delta
Serogroup :
V. cholera classic V. cholera El Tor V. cholera non O1 -> O2 . O139 Bengal Serotype : Ogawa Inaba Hikojima
V. cholera O1
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Worldwide
Transmission by ingestion of
contaminated water, food Relatively high infectious dose High risk : children, type O blood group
PATHOGENESIS (1)
Ingestion of V. cholera Transverse the acidic gastric
environment Colonized in the upper small bowel Attachment mediated by TCP (toxin coregulated pilus) Production of CT (cholera toxin) Secretory diarrhoea dehydration shock
PATHOGENESIS .(2)
CT : subunit A (monomeric enzymatic)
subunit B (pentameric binding) Subunit B bind to GMI ganglioside - A subunit enter the cell activate adenylate cyclase accumulation of cAMP inhibit Na+ absorption, activate Cl & HCO3 excretion NaCl accumulation in lumen followed by water
IMMUNITY
Poorly understood
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Incubation period : 24 48 hours Sudden onset of watery diarrhoea
voluminous diarrhoea (rice water stool) and vomiting Severe case: stool volume 250 ml/kg Parallel to volume contraction Dehydration hypovolemic shock Electrolyte disturbances
metabolic acidosis Kussmaul respiration Potasium weakness electrocardiogram changes paralytic ileus cardiac arrythmia cardiac arrest
volume decreased Hypotension Respiratory rate increased Kussmaul resp. Sunken eyes & cheeks Dry mucous membranes Skin turgor decreased
Scaphoid abdomen
Oliguria/anuria Thirst

DIAGNOSIS
Anamnesis
Physical examination
Laboratory
Culture :
DEHYDRATION (1)
Based on: Clinical findings : mild, moderate, severe score Central venous pressure Laboratory : plasma specific gravity Na
DEHYDRATION .(2)
Mild dehydration (3-5 % BW)
skin turgor decreased tachycardia thirst Moderate dehydration (8 % BW) skin turgor decreased postural hypotension tachycardia, weak pulse inrease sensation of thirst
DEHYDRATION (3)
Severe dehydration (> 10 % BW)
skin turgor markedly decreased oliguria anuria weak absent pulse sunken eyes wrinkled skin (washer women hand) somnolence coma shock
TREATMENT
