A dozen killed in cholera outbreak

BUJUMBURA, 14 September 2011 (IRIN) - Burundian health officials are battling to control a cholera outbreak that has killed 12 people and infected 600 others since August.

Although the epidemic is under control in some areas, health officials in the capital, Bujumbura, said a new area of infection had started at Nyanza Lac, Makamba province, where 80 new cases have been reported, 64 of whom are in hospital.

"The figure is still high at Nyanza Lac because the infection is still new there and contingency measures are not yet in place as in other affected areas," said Pamphile Bukuru, an officer in charge of information, education and communication for behaviour change in the Ministry of Public Health.
