The case of the elderly man from Arbus, who suffers from other pathologies, could therefore remain isolated .

Cholera, the patient hospitalized in Cagliari improves. Seafood infection
«No scaremongering» . It is the invitation of Goffredo Angioni , director of the infectious diseases department of the Santissima Trinità hospital in Cagliari , where a 72-year-old pensioner from Arbus has been hospitalized for about a week who contracted cholera , the first case in Sardinia since 1973.
The patient, explained Goffredo Angioni, director of the infectious diseases department of the Cagliari hospital, «is doing better and is back in almost normal conditions. A picture, in short, in progressive improvement ».
Even the conditions of family members who have come into contact with him would not cause concern.
As for the hypotheses on the origin of the infection, the man would have contracted it by eating a plate of mussels .
Angioni explains: «Usually cholera can be contracted during trips to some Asian countries, such as India, where the disease is endemic. With us, however, the main suspects are seafood , if consumed without proper cooking».
