Abstract
In the first nine EW of 2013, the number of suspected cholera cases and deaths recorded nationwide was higher to the number for the same period of 2012; this increase is related to cholera outbreaks registered in certain provinces and at the prison of La Altagracia. Between EW 10 to EW 30 of 2013 the number of suspected cases decreased, with a decline of 73%. The case-fatality rate was 2.6% during EW 1 to EW 30 of 2013.
