Abstract
In Haiti, from the beginning of the epidemic (October 2010) to 28 October 2012, the total of cholera cases reached 606,951, of which 326,253 (54%) were hospitalized and 7,615 died. The global case-fatality rate is 1.2% and the hospitalized case-fatality rate is 1.5%. In general, comparing the 2012 and 2011 data by month and epidemiological week (EW), reflects that 2011 saw a higher number of cases and deaths than 2012. However, the distribution of cases and deaths has followed similar trends in both years with peaks coinciding with periods of heavy rain around May-June-July and around September-October.
 
En Haití desde el inicio de la epidemia (en octubre de 2010) al 28 de octubre de 2012, se han registrado 606.951 casos, de los cuales 326.253 (54%) fueron hospitalizados y 7.615 fallecieron. La tasa de letalidad global acumulada es de 1,2% y la tasa de letalidad hospitalaria es de 1,5%. En general, la comparación de datos por mes y semana epidemiológica (SE) entre el 2012 y el 2011, muestra que un mayor número de casos y defunciones se registraron en el 2011. Sin embargo, se observó que la distribución de casos y defunciones ha seguido tendencias similares en ambos años, con picos coincidiendo con los periodos de fuertes lluvias de alrededor de mayo-junio-julio y posteriormente en torno a septiembre-octubre.
