As a result of epithelial cells damage, the absorption of fluids by small intestine is interrupted which

very successful; nonetheless, a major example of overcoming adversity has been treatment endeavors that have radically diminished mortality during the present pandemic. While cholera used to have a death rate >20%, with the improvement of oral rehydration treatment (ORT), the casualty rate for cholera has dropped to around
