00:00According to the Department of Health, the increase of dengue cases in the country will continue.
00:09Remember, let's be careful.
00:12And that's what we're going to talk about here at the UH Clinic.
00:15Our questions about dengue will be answered by ASEC's Albert Francis Domingo, DOH spokesman.
00:21Good morning, ASEC.
00:22Good morning, ASEC.
00:23Good morning, Igan.
00:24Good morning, Susan.
00:25Let's update first on the situation of our dengue.
00:30We have an increase of 150,000.
00:35I don't have the exact numbers, but the number has increased by 30 to 40 percent compared to last year.
00:42What we saw is that the number of deaths has decreased.
00:46Last year, 421 people died.
00:49This year, it's at 396.
00:52So it means that people are consulting earlier, which is good.
00:57At least they know what to do.
00:59ASEC, what are the symptoms that our hearts should be watching for?
01:03It should be those that are not dangerous.
01:05Those that are just starting.
01:07Those that are just starting.
01:09Yes, ASEC.
01:10And Igan, those that are just starting, those with high fever,
01:13around 39 to 40, 39 to 40 degrees centigrade.
01:17It's hot.
01:18What's special about dengue is that the fever can go down and other symptoms appear.
01:23Like?
01:24Pantal.
01:25Pantal.
01:26Like rashes.
01:27Okay.
01:28It also has itchiness, itchiness, and itchiness.
01:31And if it's bad, these are the bad signs.
01:33Sister Susan, when there's blood in our intestines,
01:36or for those who are fasting, there's a little blood in the dummy
01:40or the dummy turns black because the inside of the body is bleeding.
01:44Oh, wow.
01:45So when it's like that, it's bad.
01:46It's bad.
01:47That's why it should be from the start.
01:50Especially for mothers and fathers, if you notice,
01:53the child's running of the body is a little different
01:56compared to the time of pregnancy, the time of gastroenteritis,
02:00sometimes leptospirosis.
02:01It's good to have an early consultation.
02:03I thought that's the only thing that hurts, right?
02:05Yes.
02:06But the most common symptom is fever.
02:08Yes.
02:09Okay.
02:10ASEC, dengue comes from mosquitos,
02:12but what kind of mosquitos brings dengue virus?
02:15Because there are mosquitos that play.
02:17Stripes?
02:18It wears pajamas.
02:19It wears pajamas.
02:20For me, in Quiz B, we call it Aedes aegypti, right?
02:24Aedes aegypti, that's its scientific name.
02:27It has stripes on its feet.
02:29When we see it, they say it looks like a tiger.
02:32But Ms. Susan and I…
02:34Tiger?
02:35Yes, there are stripes.
02:36Yes, there are.
02:37But what we're saying is, don't look at the mosquitos.
02:41Don't look at it.
02:42If it's a mosquito, just kill it.
02:43Just kill it.
02:44For us, it's like,
02:45Hey, you're not wearing pajamas.
02:47You're not dengue.
02:48You're just a woman, right?
02:49Yes.
02:50It's harder to tell.
02:51Are you a woman?
02:52It's not like that.
02:53It's not like that.
02:54For mosquitos, just kill it right away.
02:55For mosquitos, that's right.
02:57In the past, there was a 3 o'clock habit.
03:02Is there a time when mosquitos bite?
03:05In the past, there was.
03:06Actually, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock.
03:08But DOH and the international community noticed
03:11that there's a climate change.
03:13It's already 24 hours.
03:14That's right.
03:15Our mosquitos are on alert 24 hours a day.
03:17Because mosquitos don't sleep.
03:18Because mosquitos don't sleep.
03:20They bite for 24 hours.
03:22That's why we should be careful the whole time.
03:24I'm also surprised.
03:25If there's a mosquito,
03:26even if you say it's early in the morning,
03:28you're still not sure, right?
03:30That's right.
03:31Don't look at its legs.
03:33And if you look at the time,
03:35it's like,
03:36Hey, it's not 3 o'clock.
03:37I'm safe.
03:38It's dead.
03:39Is it true that mosquitos are attracted
03:43to body odor,
03:47heat,
03:48and black clothes?
03:50Is that true?
03:51There are studies like that.
03:52In fact, some say that carbon dioxide
03:54means the breath of a person.
03:56There are studies like that.
03:58But we said that
03:59we might have a discrimination
04:02that if I smell bad,
04:04I won't be attracted.
04:05No.
04:06All people are still attracted.
04:07I don't think so.
04:08Are children more prone to dengue?
04:15Because of their resistance,
04:17especially to children
04:18and their bodies
04:19that are still young,
04:21there are more cases of dengue
04:23in children.
04:24But all ages,
04:25from young to old,
04:27are also affected by dengue.
04:28And maybe because of children.
04:30Even if children are bitten by mosquitos,
04:32as long as they play,
04:33it won't affect them.
04:34They won't feel it.
04:35Mosquitos are fat.
04:36Right?
04:38What about those who have dengue?
04:40Are they immune?
04:41Or can they get dengue again?
04:43That's a good question, Igan.
04:44Because there are four types of dengue.
04:46There are four types.
04:47DEN-1, DEN-B, DEN-2, DEN-3, DEN-4.
04:50You can get, for example,
04:51DEN-2.
04:52And you'll be immune there.
04:53But there are three more.
04:55As we said,
04:56you don't want sweepstakes.
04:58Right?
04:59You just have to endure it.
05:00Maybe you'll win.
05:01If you last long,
05:02you'll lose.
05:03We still have to be careful.
05:04One more thing.
05:05Here are some tips
05:06to avoid dengue.
05:08This is a social issue.
05:10It's just clean water.
05:12Stagnant.
05:13Dengue is infected by mosquitos.
05:15Mosquitos are the biggest enemy here.
05:17All places where you can save water.
05:20Even plants,
05:21flower beds,
05:22clean water.
05:23And Igan is right.
05:24Because some people think
05:25it's just going to get dirty.
05:26No.
05:27Even the tombs there,
05:29you can save water there.
05:31Kill all the mosquitos.
05:32Use self-protection.
05:34Use mosquito repellents.
05:35Long sleeves.
05:36And if you have symptoms,
05:37consult your doctor immediately.
05:39Thank you so much,
05:41Asek Albert Francis Domingo,
05:43the spokesperson of our Department of Health.
05:46Be careful, everyone.
05:47If it's too humid,
05:48kill it.
05:49For your health,
05:51consult your doctor.
05:52We'll consult you here at UH Clinic.
05:55Goodbye.
05:56Take care.
