DOH PRESS RELEASE
PR ID NO. 2025-01-08-01

=====================

MALA-TRANGKASONG SAKIT SA PHL MABABA; HINIHIKAYAT NG DOH NA UMIWAS SA SAKIT NGAYONG PANAHON NG AMIHAN
Press Release | 08 Enero 2025

Patuloy na hinihikayat ng Department of Health (DOH) ang publiko na isagawa ang respiratory etiquette tulad ng pagtatakip sa ubo gamit ang siko; pananatili sa bahay kapag may ubo, sipon, o lagnat; at madalas na paghuhugas ng kamay gamit ang sabon at tubig habang nagpapatuloy ang mas malamig na Northeast Monsoon, o panahon ng Amihan. Binigyang-diin ng DOH na ang panahon ng Amihan ay maaaring humantong sa pagtaas ng mga kondisyon sa paghinga tulad ng allergy o respiratory infections.

Update sa Influenza-like Illness (ILI)
Nakapagtala ang DOH Influenza-like Illness (ILI) Surveillance System ng kabuuang 179,227 na mala-trangkasong sakit noong Disyembre 31, 2024, na mas mababa pa rin ng 17% kaysa sa 216,786 na kaso na naitala noong nakaraang taon. Ang pagbabang ito ay maaaring maiugnay sa mas mabuting pag-uugali at gawi sa paghahanap ng kalusugan at mas mahusay na paghahanda ng sektor ng kalusugan.

Ang ILI ay nailalarawan sa pamamagitan ng ubo, sipon, at lagnat. Ito ay karaniwang dahil sa mga respiratory virus na may Rhinovirus (1,257/4,921 o 25.5% ng mga positibong sample), Enterovirus (1,140/4,921 o 23.2%), Influenza A (1,072/4,921 o 21.8%), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (560/4,921 o 11.4%), at Adenovirus (527/4,921 o 10.7%) ang nangungunang 5 sanhi ng ILI sa Pilipinas.

Sa labas ng Pilipinas, ang pagtaas ng mga karaniwang acute respiratory infections, kabilang ang Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) at Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV), ay iniulat ng World Health Organization (WHO) sa Disease Outbreak News nito na may petsang 7 Enero 2025. Inaasahan ang pagtaas sa panahon ng taglamig sa Tsina at iba pang mga bansa sa Northern Hemisphere. Nilinaw din ng mga awtoridad ng China sa WHO na ang healthcare system ng China ay hindi nalulula at walang emergency declaration o response na nangyayari.

Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV)
Ang Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) ay hindi isang bagong sakit. Natuklasan ito noong 2001 ng mga Dutch na mananaliksik sa mga sample ng nasopharyngeal aspirate mula sa mga bata na may mga impeksyon sa paghinga na dulot ng hindi kilalang mga pathogen. Sa Pilipinas, sinusuri ang hMPV bilang bahagi ng panel 2 (expanded panel) para sa mga specimen na negatibo ang pagsubok sa panel 1 (para sa Influenza, SARS-CoV-2, at RSV) bilang bahagi ng ating Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) at pagsubaybay sa Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI).

Ika-6 ang hMPV sa mga natukoy na causative agent ng ILI sa Pilipinas para sa 2024. Mula Enero 1 hanggang Disyembre 21, 2024, 284/4,921 (5.8%) ang mga positibong sample ay dahil sa hMPV. Kamakailan lamang, mula Disyembre 1 hanggang 21, 2024, 10/339 (2.9%) ang mga positibong sample ay dahil sa hMPV. Ang hMPV ay paminsan-minsang nakikita, na walang kakaibang clustering o pattern, sa buong taon.

Karamihan sa mga taong nahawaan ng hMPV ay magkakaroon lamang ng banayad na mga sintomas, na kinabibilangan ng ubo, lagnat, pagkabara ng ilong, at halak. Ang mga bihirang malubhang kaso ay maaaring magresulta sa brongkitis o pulmonya, lalo na sa mga sanggol, matatanda at mga indibidwal na immunocompromised. Ang mga may dati nang kondisyon sa baga, tulad ng Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) o emphysema, ay nasa mas mataas na panganib na magkaroon ng malalang resulta.

Pinaalalahanan ng DOH ang pangkalahatang publiko, lalo na ang mga kabataan, immunocompromised, at matatanda, na mag-ingat sa pamamagitan ng madalas na paghuhugas ng kamay, pag-iwas sa matataong lugar kung maaari, at pagkain at pag-inom ng tubig ng maayos. Hinihimok ng DOH ang mga nasa high risk o may mga komplikadong sintomas na humingi ng medikal na pangangalaga sa lalong madaling panahon.

“Hindi bagong virus ang hMPV. Matagal na natin siyang kayang tukuyin. Hindi rin malala ang kanyang sintomas. Tulad ng karaniwang ubo at sipon, gumagaling siya ng kusa basta malakas ang ating resistensya,” said Secretary Teodoro J. Herbosa. “Palakasin ang ating immune system! Tandaan ang TED - Tamang pagkain, Ehersisyo, at Disiplina sa katawan para lumakas ang resistensya at makaiwas sa mga sakit. Kapag may sakit, manatili na lamang sa bahay. Dalasan ang paghuhugas ng kamay gamit ang sabon at tubig, o gumamit ng alcohol. Voluntary pa rin po ang facemask - para sa mga may sintomas, at para sa mga gustong makaiwas sa hawa,” added the Health Chief.

𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗕𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗦 🔻

Recently, we have seen posts of snake sightings in our city.
This uptick is attributed to:

📍The mating season of king cobras, which typically occurs from January to April, leading to more frequent appearances as these snakes become more active in search of mates.

📍Extreme in weather condition make snakes come out of their nests either to cool down or look for food.

📢 If you encounter one, please do not try to catch or kill the snake, instead call the proper authority to handle the situation.

7 Warning Signs of Dengue Fever in Kids:

Dengue fever is a serious mosquito-borne illness that can pose significant health risks, especially for children. As parents and caregivers, it’s crucial to recognize the early warning signs to seek prompt medical attention. At WhiteCoat, we prioritize your child’s health and well-being. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you identify the seven warning signs of dengue fever in kids.

1. High Fever

One of the most common and early signs of dengue fever is a sudden, high fever. In children, this fever can reach up to 104°F (40°C) and often starts suddenly. Unlike regular fevers, dengue-induced fever is typically high from the onset and doesn’t respond well to common fever-reducing medications.

2. Severe Headache

If your child complains of an intense headache, especially in the forehead region, it could be a sign of dengue. This headache is usually persistent and severe, differing from typical headaches associated with colds or minor illnesses.

3. Pain Behind the Eyes

A distinctive symptom of dengue is retro-orbital pain, or pain behind the eyes. This can be particularly distressing for children and is a strong indicator of dengue when accompanied by other symptoms such as fever and headache.

4. Muscle and Joint Pain

Often referred to as “breakbone fever,” dengue is notorious for causing severe muscle and joint pain. In children, this can manifest as general body aches and discomfort, making them unusually irritable and restless.

5. Rash

A rash is another significant sign of dengue in kids. The rash often appears a few days after the fever begins and can cover most of the body. It may start as small red spots and can progress to a more widespread rash. In some cases, the rash might cause itching.

6. Nausea and Vomiting

Children with dengue fever frequently experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. These symptoms can lead to dehydration, which is particularly dangerous for children. Ensuring they stay hydrated is crucial if these symptoms appear.

7. Fatigue and Weakness

Extreme fatigue and weakness are common in children suffering from dengue fever. This is due to the body’s immune response and the virus itself depleting the child’s energy reserves. If your child appears unusually tired or lethargic, especially when combined with other symptoms, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional.

Additional Tips for Parents

Stay Hydrated: Ensure your child drinks plenty of fluids. Dehydration can worsen the symptoms and complicate recovery.

Monitor Symptoms: Keep a close eye on your child’s symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they worsen or if new symptoms appear.

Seek Medical Care: If you suspect your child has dengue fever, visit a healthcare provider promptly for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Prevent Mosquito Bites: Use mosquito repellents, install screens on windows and doors, and ensure your child wears protective clothing, especially during peak mosquito activity times.

Rest and Recuperate: Ensure your child gets plenty of rest to help their body fight off the infection.
