Cholera is an acute infection of the small bowel by Vibrio cholerae, which secretes a toxin that produces copious watery diarrhea, leading to dehydration, oliguria, and collapse. Infection is typically through contaminated water or seafood. Diagnosis is by culture or serology. Treatment is vigorous rehydration and electrolyte replacement along with doxycycline.
Tuberculosis (abbreviated as TB for tubercle bacillus or Tuberculosis) is a common and deadly infectious disease caused by mycobacteria, mainly Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Similar disease occasionally results from M. bovis, M. africanum, and M. microti.
