Abstract | The study looked into the prevalence of cholera at three refugee camps in Bangladesh. The study population consisted of two groups: (i) people using a covered latrine and piped water; (ii) people using an uncovered surface latrine and pond and tubewell water. In the one camp with sanitation facilities, the cholera rate was 1.6 per 1,000, whereas in the other two camps without facilities the rates were 4.0 and 4.3 per 1,000. |
