10 Cholera Symptoms

Symptom #7: Decreased Urine Output
The normal range of urine output in twenty-four hours is 800 to 2,000 mL a day, assuming there is normal fluid intake of approximately two liters a day.
Oliguria, or decreased urine output, is defined as less than 500 mL in twenty-four hours for an adult and less than 1,000 mL in twenty-four hours for a child. In cholera, where there is extreme fluid loss due to vomiting and severe diarrhea, severe dehydration causes the urine output to drop. Other symptoms associated with dehydration include muscle cramps, lethargy, and bluish-gray skin.
