In order to determine the knowledge of contraceptive use, family use and fitness, has surveyed 400 patients alternately, in a representative sample of patients attending the General Teaching Hospital Base Health Center since November 1977 Trujillo until August of 1978. It is not possible to draw definitive conclusions from a survey; but it can be stated that we are facing a change of attitude in women who currently have more interest in controlling the number of children with spacing them. The sample accused predominance of married patients at 2.73 children per patient, low weekly income without desire to have more children. A high percentage ignores the use of contraceptives. Knowledge of contraceptives depends largely on the level of education, the income and marital status. The traditional rhythm method is the most used and known.

It was studied the time of permanence of Vibrio cholerae 01 in the transport media Amies, Amies with charcon and Stuart. Thus, the faecal samples of thirteen cholera patients were collected and transported in those media included Cary - Blair medium. Through the fortnight cultures of each sample, V. cholerae 01 was isolated as follow: during the firsts 30 days in Stuart medium (p=l.OO). During 45 days Cary-Blair medium (p=0.095) and during 60 days in Amies wilh charcoal medium (p=Ü.199). Results indicate that V. cholerae 01 could be transported in all the media evalualed, except in Amies medium. In those media V. chalerae 01 has recovered under its culturable and viable form during the study time.
