Abstract
In Haiti, from the beginning of the epidemic to 9 July 2012, the total of cholera cases reached 579,014, of which 313,226 (54%) were hospitalized and 7,418 died. The global case-fatality rate is 1.3% and the hospitalized case-fatality rate is 1.5%. From epidemiological week (EW) 15 of 2012, an increase of cases was principally recorded in the departments of Artibonite, Centre, Nord, Nord-Est and Ouest. The increase is related to the early onset of the rainy season. In the past four weeks the number of cases and hospitalizations has shown a decreasing trend.
