00:00 Because of the rainy weather that flooded many places in the country,
00:04 the health department is worried about the diseases that can be contracted here.
00:08 There is leptospirosis.
00:10 It can infect people who have wounds, usually in the feet or other parts of the body,
00:15 that are infected with the water that the animals urinate, often blood, that has a contagious disease.
00:20 The disease is affected by stones or kidneys.
00:23 Most of the animals we see are infected, their bodies are sick, and they turn yellow,
00:31 sometimes it's hard to breathe.
00:33 If our kidneys can't function, we might die.
00:38 To avoid leptospirosis, avoid getting wet.
00:42 If you can't avoid it, wear boots as protection.
00:46 According to the DOH, there are 2,000 cases of leptospirosis that were recorded this year.
00:51 Meanwhile, there were more than 4,700 cases in 2022.
00:55 In the past month, 182 new cases were reported.
00:59 The agency expects that this will increase due to the late reporting.
01:03 225 cases were reported, or 10% of the reported cases.
01:07 In Central Luzon, the number of cases has been increasing for the past 6 weeks.
01:12 There were also increases in the National Capital Region, CAR, Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley,
01:18 Calo Person, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, and Caraga.
01:25 There is also a danger of dengue when it rains.
01:28 The mosquitoes that carry dengue are affected by the water that is in the water.
01:33 It can be in the bladder or intestines, or in the lungs.
01:36 If mosquitoes that carry dengue bite, an individual can get sick.
01:41 We will also have flow-like symptoms.
01:45 We think that it's just a flu.
01:48 The head hurts, the body hurts, and then eventually, we will have rashes.
01:54 In the dangerous types of dengue, or dengue hemorrhagic fever,
01:59 our other parts of our body bleed, usually our nose or our throat.
02:07 As a fight against dengue, the DOH gave the following guidelines in 5S.
02:12 Search and destroy, self-protection, seek early consultation, support fogging, and sustain hydration.
02:18 The DOH also reported more than 85,000 cases of dengue.
02:23 In 2022, it was 226,000.
02:26 According to the agency, the increase in dengue cases will continue from April.
02:31 The highest are in the Mimaropa, CAR, Davao Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Sok Sarjent.
02:37 So if you experience any symptoms of leptospirosis or dengue,
02:42 early consultation is recommended with health centers in the barangay.
02:46 If they come here and get consulted,
02:49 if they are getting sick, or if it's an early consultation through NS1,
02:57 so that they can be detected, and then for leptospirosis, we give them prophylaxis doxycycline.
03:07 If they have symptoms of leptospirosis or dengue, we refer them to the hospital.
03:15 Experts remind us to maintain a healthy body and eat healthy food to avoid getting sick.
03:22 sakit.
