    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Background: Cholera is a diarrheal disease caused by infection of the intestine with the gramnegative&lt;br&gt;
bacteria vibrio cholera, either type o1 or o139. A single case of Cholera initiates outbreak&lt;br&gt;
investigation in Ethiopia. Kolfe keraniyo sub-city Public Health Emergency Management reported&lt;br&gt;
two Cholera cases on 20 September 2017. Two of the sample investigated by culture and stool RDT&lt;br&gt;
kit confirmed that positive for vibrio cholera o1. The index case was 55 years old woman from&lt;br&gt;
woreda one kolfe keraniyo sub-city. We aimed to identify the risk factor for the occurrence of the&lt;br&gt;
cholera outbreak and institute appropriate measures&lt;br&gt;
Method: we conducted cholera outbreak investigation in woreda1, 2,3,5,9 and 13 of kolfe keraniyo&lt;br&gt;
sub city, Addis Ababa town from September 20, 2017-January7, 2017. We defined suspected cases of&lt;br&gt;
cholera as occurrence of acute watery diarrhea, with or without vomiting, in a patient aged &amp;ge;5 years&lt;br&gt;
living in study area. Unmatched case control study design was used and we included all of the&lt;br&gt;
identified cases (19) during the course of the outbreak and recruited 38 controls with 2:1 control to&lt;br&gt;
case ratio. We searched new cases in health facilities. We assessed houses of cases and holly waters.&lt;br&gt;
