Leptospirosis cases spike in QC amid flooding
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte on Monday said her local government is taking urgent measures to address the spike in leptospirosis cases in the city over the past two weeks, with 10 cases recorded in a single day. Belmonte expressed her concern and has tasked the health department, through the Quezon City Epidemiology and Disease Surveillance Unit (QCESU), to address the issue. To curb the spread of disease and protect individuals at risk, Belmonte said the use of Doxycycline or antibiotics to treat infections has been distributed in barangay health centers. She added that frontline responders from the city’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) were also given enough supplies. According to QCESU Chief Dr. Rolando Cruz, antibiotics will be given as prophylaxis to high-risk individuals, especially those with a history of wading through floodwaters, to reduce the risk of infection. It will also be offered as an early treatment to individuals diagnosed with leptospirosis. Early diagnosis is critical to preventing severe complications that could lead to hospitalization. “Residents who are at risk due to the nature of their work or location, and those who are experiencing fever after being exposed to flood waters are encouraged to visit the nearest barangay health center for assessment and appropriate treatment," Belmonte said. "Dahil panahon ngayon ng tag-ulan at baha, nararapat lamang na maging maingat ang lahat para iwas-sakit,” she added. Data from QCESU revealed an increasing number of leptospirosis cases in the past two weeks, with 26 cases reported from July 22 to August 4. Notably, 10 were recorded on August 1, the highest number of cases in a single day. Quezon City residents are urged to observe preventive measures, including avoiding wading or swimming in floodwater and wearing protective clothing such as boots, gloves, and masks during floods. Cruz warned that leptospirosis spreads through the urine or feces of infected animals, especially rats. It can be contracted by accidentally swallowing contaminated food or water, or when the bacteria enters the body through the mouth, nose, and eyes, or through open wounds and cuts.

DoH gears up vs leptospirosis surge
The Department of Health on Sunday assured that government hospitals nationwide have enough supplies of medicines as it braces for a possible surge of leptospirosis cases in flood-hit areas such as Bulacan and Pampanga. DoH Secretary Teodoro Herbosa said they were expecting leptospirosis infections to rise as Filipinos dealt with massive floods triggered by monsoon rains and typhoons “Egay” and “Falcon.” “I expected a rise of leptospirosis infections. Flood waters are dirty. If you tend to wade in deep floods even if you don’t have to, you may get infected,” Herbosa said. He added that those with open wounds and waded in floods may have a higher chance of getting leptospirosis. Because of this, he advised those who may have symptoms like chills, body pain and headache to see a doctor right away. “If you have wounds on your feet, you should not be wading in the flood. See a doctor if you were forced to wade. Show your physician your wounds so he or she could prescribe you medicines,” said the DoH chief. In anticipation of possible leptospirosis cases, Herbosa said the DoH had sent antibiotics to Ilocos before typhoon “Egay” pounded the region. Central Luzon also has enough stocks of doxycycline, he added. Herbosa also stressed that leptospirosis symptoms often show one to two weeks after a massive flood hits any given place. The bacteria causing the disease usually comes from rat urine which may mix with flood water triggered by heavy rains.

DOH expects increase in leptospirosis cases in coming weeks
Cases of leptospirosis in the country are expected to increase in the coming weeks as some areas in the country are still submerged in flood waters brought by Typhoon "Egay", the Department of Health said Sunday. At the Kapihan sa QC, Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said the agency is prepared for the expected influx of leptospirosis cases, particularly in the Central Region, where most provinces are still submerged in floods. “I am expecting that the cases of leptospirosis will increase. Surely, many people will contract leptospirosis in the coming weeks,” Herbosa said. He noted that prior to the onslaught of Typhoon last month, the DoH had sent thousands of doses of antibiotics to the Ilocos region due to the expected influx of leptospirosis cases in the area. “Region 3 has many stockpiles. In fact, it is already prepared,” he stressed, after pointing out the floods in Bulacan and Pampanga. The Health chief reminded the public to avoid contacting flood waters, especially those who have open wounds. “Maybe we should tell the public that flood waters are dirty. If you stayed in flood waters even if you don’t have to, you are at risk,” he said. “If you have wounds on your feet, you should not submerge yourself in the flood,” he added. Herbosa urged those who have open wounds on their feet yet submerged themselves in flood waters to consult their doctors to get a prescription against leptospirosis. From 18 June to 1 July alone, the Health department recorded a total of 182 new cases of leptospirosis, a 42 percent increase from 128 cases reported two weeks prior. Central Luzon exhibited a continuous increase in cases in the recent six weeks reporting nine cases from 2 to 15 July. Meanwhile, nine regions, namely National Capital Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, and Caraga, showed an increase in cases in the last three to four weeks with seven to 53 new cases. Ilocos Norte and Bicol, however, had an increase in cases in the recent two weeks with nine and three cases reported, respectively. “Cases may still increase with late reports,” the agency said. In terms of fatality, a total of 225 died from 2,079 leptospirosis cases from 1 January to 15 July.
