Abstract
Since the onset of the cholera epidemic in Latin America in 1991, most cases of cholera in the United States have occurred among persons traveling to the United States from cholera-affected areas or who have eaten contaminated food brought or imported from these areas. In December 1994, a cluster of cholera cases occurred among persons in Indiana who had shared a meal of contaminated food brought from El Salvador. This report summarizes the investigation of the cases conducted by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) in collaboration with the local health departments in Jasper and Newton counties (Indiana), the Illinois Department of Public Health, and the DeWitt-Piatt (Illinois) Bi-County Health Department.
