Answer 1

Difference between cholera and dysentery

• Dysentery is a term to describe gastroenteritis ( inflammation of the gastro intestinal tract ) that produces blood diarrhoea. Commonly this can be due to bacteria like Shigella or amoebas like Entamoeba histolytica.

• Cholera is a specific disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, usually leading to severe, watery diarrhoea. It can be rapidly fatal without treatment due to the sheer volume of fluid loss.
