As of June 2022, according to Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) SitRep, a total of 17 cases of Cholera have been reported in the Kathmandu valley with no fatalities. The cases were confirmed by utilizing the stool culture method, Rapid Diagnostic test and hanging drop test. The causal agent identified is Vibrio cholerae O1 Ogawa Serotype. Five patients are being treated in Sukraraj Tropical and infectious diseases hospital, Teku Kathmandu. In the Kathmandu valley, sporadic cases have been identified in different areas of main cities with dense populations and high mobility, where the first two cases reported from the Sukharaj Tropical and Infectious Diseases Hospital belonged to the same family. Initial field investigation conducted by a joint team from the Kathmandu District Health Office (DHO), Kathmandu Metropolitan Office, Epidemiology and Diseases Control Division (EDCD), Department of Food Technology and Quality Control and WHO revealed that the potential cause of Cholera cases in Kathmandu is the use of unboiled tap water for drinking. As with the majority of the valley’s population, the majority of cases have been linked to the consumption of commercial jar water. The presence of Escherichia coli in 38 of 53 water samples from the valley indicates that the majority of drinking water sources in the valley are contaminated with human faeces. The status depicts a high probability of other diarrhoeal diseases in addition to Cholera. (IFRC, 8 Jul 2022)
