Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Cholera is a disease caused by Vibrio Cholerae bacterium associated with a high transmission of disease and can be fatal. T. The bacteria does occur naturally in contaminated coastal plankton related with warm sea surface temperature (SST), shellfish and man.
METHODOLOGY: We performed a retrospective descriptive analysis of confirmed cases and mortality cases of Cholera collected from the Sabah State Infectious Disease Registry from 2016 to 2020, Malaysia. Analysis was conducted to observe the disease trends and patterns.
RESULTS: From 2016 to 2020, Sabah recorded a total of 416 cases with a mean Incidence Rate (IR) of 1.98/100,000 population. 3 death were recorded throughout the five years. There were a total of 7 out of 27 districts in Sabah reported higher than the state's aim incidence rate of 0.5 /100,000 population with the highest median incidence rate recorded by Semporna district (26.68), followed by Kunak (13.7) and Tuaran (2.23) districts. 45% of cases recorded were male, and 55% of cases were female. Two spike of age could be observed among the cases which are > 1 to 6 years old as well as 25-60 years old of age. 100% of patient presented with watery diarrhoea, 70% presented with nausea and 45% presented with lethargy and myalgia. 445 cases confirmed as Ogawa Serotype, two (2) as Inaba serotype and 23 of no results. DISCUSSION: Cholera is still a public health threat in Sabah especially in high risk population in east coast of the state.
