A second outbreak of cholera, due to the Ogawa strain, occurred in the home for Mentally Handicapped Children in Nonthaburi between July 29 and August 9, 1992. An outbreak of cholera due to the Inaba strain was reported in the same institution and season tin 1987. In 1992, the clinical attack rate was 8 per cent of 440 children; there were two deaths. Bath water was contaminated with Vibrio cholerae O1 E1 Tor Ogawa, the same strain as was isolated from the ill children. Chlorination of the water supply, obtained from an underground well, was insufficient. The water supply needs further investigation, and the sanitary conditions in the institutions should be improved.
