Abstract

From 2005 to 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's port health stations (PHSs) received 37 reports of travelers with suspected or confirmed cholera. Most reports (29/37, 78%) occurred before 2012, with the majority linked to the 2010 Haiti outbreak. The median age of travelers was 34 years (interquartile range: 21-59 years), and nearly all (35/37, 95%) arrived by air. Seventeen (46%) cases were laboratory-confirmed as toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1, serotype Ogawa; 16 (94%) patients with confirmed cholera were hospitalized. No deaths were reported. Following the publication in 2011 of notification criteria for communicable diseases in travelers, health department notifications to PHSs of cholera cases declined. Continued coordination with public health partners is important to ensure timely evaluation and follow-up of travelers with suspected cholera. Clinicians should obtain travel histories and consider cholera in recent travelers with severe watery diarrhea who have been in outbreak or endemic areas.

2005-2024年向美国港口卫生站报告的疑似或确诊霍乱旅行者病例系列

从2005年到2024年，美国疾病控制和预防中心的港口卫生站（PHSs）收到了37份旅行者疑似或确诊感染霍乱的报告。大多数报告（29/ 37,78 %）发生在2012年之前，其中大多数与2010年海地疫情有关。旅客的年龄中位数为34岁（四分位数间距为21-59岁），几乎所有旅客（35/ 37,95%）都乘飞机抵达。17例（46%）经实验室确诊为O1型产毒霍乱弧菌（Ogawa血清型）；16例（94%）确诊霍乱患者住院。没有死亡报告。在2011年公布了旅行者中传染病的通报标准之后，卫生部门向初级保健医院通报的霍乱病例有所减少。与公共卫生伙伴的持续协调对于确保及时评估和跟踪疑似霍乱的旅行者非常重要。临床医生应获取旅行史，并考虑最近曾到过暴发或流行地区的严重水样腹泻旅行者的霍乱情况。
