Abstract
Cholera is one of the most rapidly fatal infectious diseases known. Historically, two major problems have been faced by those who care for patients with cholera: first, how to treat individual patients to prevent rapid death, and second, how to prevent the spread of this highly contagious disease in the immediate community and beyond. In this review, we will discuss how clinical scientists have approached these two issues with some personal experiences that Dr William B Greenough III encountered when he was addressing these problems and treating cholera victims at the Pakistan SEATO Cholera Research Laboratory in the early 1960s in Dhaka, East Pakistan.
霍乱是已知的最迅速致命的传染病之一。从历史上看，照顾霍乱患者的人面临着两个主要问题:第一，如何治疗个别患者以防止迅速死亡;第二，如何防止这种高度传染性疾病在直接社区内外传播。在这篇综述中，我们将讨论临床科学家如何处理这两个问题，以及William B Greenough III博士在1960年代初在东巴基斯坦达卡的巴基斯坦SEATO霍乱研究实验室处理这些问题和治疗霍乱患者时遇到的一些个人经历。
