00:00The spread of monkeypox, leptospirosis, and dengue, and the return of PhilHealth's money to the Treasury, let's talk about it with Health Secretary Teodoro Ted Herbosa.
00:18You can watch the entire interview on the YouTube and Facebook channels of GMA News Online. Good day, Dr. Ted.
00:25Good day to all of you. Good day to all of your viewers. I hope we can share knowledge about the various diseases that are spreading in our country.
00:37Dr. Ted is a graduate of biology at the University of the Philippines.
00:42He has a postdoctoral degree in training in Tel Aviv and in Geneva in epidemiology.
00:50He also became the Executive Vice President of UP Diliman.
00:55Thank you for inviting me, Dr. Ted.
00:57Let's start with the first concern of the public, monkeypox or mpox.
01:04What is the situation now? How many cases and what are your findings? How is this disease spreading?
01:11First, let's explain mpox. Monkeypox is the first name.
01:17Last August of 2022, the WHO declared a public health emergency of international concern.
01:25We were able to get, until December of 2023, one year later, nine cases of monkeypox here in the Philippines.
01:36All of them recovered. All of them have a history of travel. That means they were able to get it from other countries.
01:44Two weeks ago, the World Health Organization declared monkeypox again.
01:51Actually, the monkeypox declaration was lifted.
01:54At this time, they declared again because there was an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
02:00They detected almost 2,000, 1,800.
02:04But they think there are more because this is the only thing that was detected in the laboratory test.
02:09There were children who died. This time, there were children who died and many women.
02:15Because the women were mostly sexually transmitted.
02:19So now the data is coming out, that's why there's an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo or Africa,
02:27is that there's a new clade or variant. The clade is like a variant.
02:33There's a clade 1B, which is apparently more deadly.
02:38The mortality rate is higher.
02:40Because of this, the WHO was afraid and declared that there's an ongoing outbreak in Congo and the nearby countries, about eight countries.
02:49They said this is a public health emergency of international concern.
02:53When we got that, the doctors also started testing.
02:57When they saw mpox-looking diseases in their clinics, the RITM received test samples.
03:05The first five test samples, one of us tested positive.
03:09He tested positive but he was sent home from the hospital.
03:15His symptoms are mild and this is the clade 2, which is the original.
03:21This is not the new 1B.
03:23So let me stay clear, the 1B has not yet arrived in the Philippines.
03:29Yesterday, we declared another two.
03:32There were about 30 tests.
03:35Many tested negative.
03:37The other tests that looked like mpox did not turn positive.
03:42There are two more that were added.
03:44Both of them are male.
03:49Two of the three are persons living with HIV.
03:54But all of them are clade 2.
03:59This is the mild malu.
04:01This is not the more deadly variant.
04:05This is not the more deadly.
04:06The nearest more deadly is Bangkok.
04:10Thailand reported two days ago that a clade 1B was added to their positive test.
04:19This is from Congo or Africa.
04:22So it's important.
04:23So it's not yet.
04:24Now for us, the three cases, the significance of malu is that we have community transmission of the original virus.
04:35The mpox clade 2.
04:37So that means we have continued transmission.
04:40So what we should do is to be careful because it's spreading.
04:45This is where I discovered that there are spas that are very popular,
04:50that have parapians in them.
04:52This is where we got our first case.
04:55When this was detected, we told the local chief executive.
04:59It looks like he got it from a spa.
05:02The spa was closed because there was no business permit.
05:05Dr. Ted, to be more clear, it looks like a clade, but there are other symptoms.
05:10What should they watch out for?
05:12If they have initial symptoms, what should they do?
05:16The first symptom, like this one where we first detected mpox, we did contact tracing.
05:23So we informed the people in the area that they have mpox because there are two of them with sexual contact.
05:34So they were informed and they are being watched.
05:37The good news is that this clade 2, the nine that we first saw, none of them infected their family members or any other people.
05:46They did not transmit, they recovered and isolated.
05:50So I think it's easy for us to control this.
05:52As long as people know that this is a disease, you will also get infected.
05:57After you get infected, you will have itching, and then the clade will come out.
06:01First, it will be rash, then it will be like water, like chicken pox.
06:07But it doesn't look like chicken pox.
06:09It's like herpes zoster.
06:12There are clades.
06:13But this is usually found in private parts.
06:18It can also be found on the face, palms, and body.
06:21As long as you have it and you're not sure, our suggestion is to consult a doctor.
06:27We have already identified the doctors.
06:30Usually, they go to a derma, to a skin clinic because skin is the problem.
06:35Then we taught them how to get a sample and send it to RITF.
06:40Capacities for testing are increasing.
06:43PCR test fell like the COVID PCR test.
06:47But the cartridge is different so we need to get more tests.
06:51Our capacity is limited.
06:53Our other test kits expired and we need to buy more.
06:58This is what DOH is preparing for our country.
07:02Is there an initial remedy or first aid?
07:06You said that if you go to a dermatologist, you might not be able to detect it right away.
07:11What is the dangerous point that they need an emergency?
07:17As long as the vesicles have water, they are very infectious.
07:22The moment you have those symptoms, even if you're not a dermatologist,
07:27any doctor will... because we inform all doctors about this new public health emergency of international concern.
07:35It's important to confirm and test.
07:38That's what we are recommending.
07:40As you can see, the transmission rate is not that high.
07:46We have cases of B.
07:49But what can we do to avoid community transmission?
07:56The transmission of MPAX is through close and intimate contact.
08:02Including sex.
08:04But we have seen in Africa, it can also be caused by the sharing of towels and clothes.
08:11So you can touch somebody.
08:14But the likelihood is lower.
08:16But the real spread is skin to skin.
08:19What will be the number of days before there is an outbreak?
08:23Because you said that if there is a boutique...
08:25Intubation.
08:26That's the intubation period so that people can also know.
08:29Once you're exposed, it's anywhere from 7 to 21 days.
08:34As far as 30 days, you can still get infected.
08:38So the range is long.
08:40So you really need to monitor for a longer period of time after you're exposed to a positive disease.
08:47Maybe our countrymen will know.
08:51These three, right?
08:53Maybe per person, we can identify 40 that they list as their close contacts.
09:01Our contact tracers also call them and inform them that you have a positive case.
09:08Observe.
09:09Initially, you will not be quarantined.
09:12You will be observed.
09:13And if you have a fever, headache, muscle pain, and vesicles, you will be examined.
09:19What are the medicines that can be taken to arrest a fever or develop intubation in a serious stage?
09:31So the usual, we recommend the usual medicine for a fever, paracetamol.
09:36But it has a medicine, tecoviramat, which is an antiviral.
09:40Unfortunately, it is not registered and available.
09:43So I am asking the WHO to provide this so we can have supplies.
09:50Of course, I will not fight in Africa because I'm sure this is needed.
09:55There is also a vaccine, Malu.
09:57There is a vaccine for mpox.
10:00It's coming from cowpox.
10:02But that's also what we talked about in a meeting with the WHO and other health ministers.
10:07We will distribute the vaccines to the countries that have an outbreak, which is Congo, Burundi, and the countries around them.
10:14So we can test the distribution.
10:16So we agree on that.
10:18We will wait.
10:19Although I have a queue.
10:21I think there are 2,000 vaccines.
10:242,500 doses.
10:27The ASEAN share.
10:28We call it the share of other countries in the vaccine for equity.
10:33So I have a queue there and we're doing the process so we can get it to the Philippines.
10:38Okay.
10:39Do we still need to close our borders or ban travel?
10:43No, the WHO did not require any border control.
10:49What we did, Malu, is we added questions on e-travel.
10:54So on e-travel, when you return to the Philippines, someone will ask,
10:59So you will be flagged if you put Democratic Republic of Congo.
11:06And then thermal scanning, we increased the temperature scan.
11:12And of course, if you have symptoms, we want people to be honest and go to our quarantine officers.
11:18They are wearing white uniforms at the airport.
11:20Those who are behind the thermal scan.
11:22If you are from Thailand or Congo and you think you might have MPAX,
11:28we will help you get tested so we can make sure that your symptoms are not MPAX.
11:35All right.
11:36Now, the three cases are all males.
11:39You said they are of age, middle age.
11:4330 plus, around 30-32 range, 33.
11:47Those are their ages.
11:48And it looks like it's common through intimate contact.
11:52And you said that you were surprised that there are SPAs,
11:56apologies to the preferences of our people on their leisure or lifestyle.
12:02But are there health permits for these SPAs to be clear?
12:08Because it might be unfair that they are not allowed to go to places.
12:14What we will do, even if they are at risk,
12:17those who work here, the SPA workers will be at risk also if we have a transmission.
12:23So we will educate them.
12:25We're distributing posters to warn people.
12:28We're also going to teach them, of course, the towels, bed sheets,
12:32things that you use in the SPA should be washed after the first client.
12:36And it should not be reused without soap and water.
12:40Soap and water will kill the MPAX virus.
12:43So it's very important that all linens and towels will not be shared if they are used.
12:49All right.
12:50And it's only in NCR right now, right?
12:53Yes.
12:54Two from Quezon City and one from Mandaluyong.
12:57So it's only in NCR.
12:59A chief of hospital reported a suspected case in Northern Samar.
13:05So we're awaiting the result of the test.
13:08When we heard from our fellow countrymen, health officers,
13:11let's just report those who tested positive.
13:14Because there are a lot of people getting tested.
13:16There are more negative cases than positive.
13:20So we prefer not to scare our fellow countrymen.
13:24I don't want what happened in Baguio,
13:27where there was a meningococcemia outbreak and a lot of children died.
13:31It turns out it's not a meningococcemia outbreak.
13:34It's just a coincidence that the children died of measles, pneumonia,
13:38and it was labeled as meningococcemia.
13:41We got fake news.
13:42So we are very careful about spreading fake news.
13:46And you too, my recommendation to our fellow countrymen,
13:49if you see something and you're not sure, please don't share.
13:53Verify it with your doctor friend first.
13:55Check the website of WHO, DOH, CDC to verify if it's true.
14:02There are a lot of people spreading fake news.
14:06Sometimes people want to share it right away.
14:08They think they're helping.
14:10No, we're just adding to the panic and anxiety of other people
14:15about the fake news that we spread.
14:18So think before you click.
14:20Think before you click.
14:21Because it's a coincidence.
14:23When they talk about it, of course, all the parents,
14:26father, sister, brother, are on red alert.
14:29I just want to ask, is it possible that there's a misdiagnosis that's happening?
14:34They say that there's an appearance of HIV AIDS, some symptoms.
14:39And there are also HIV AIDS cases that are diagnosed as tuberculosis.
14:46How can we prevent people from getting confused,
14:50like the one you mentioned that happened in Baguio?
14:55The very important thing is that HIV is a disease wherein the immune system weakens.
15:01If you don't have antiretroviral treatment or therapy,
15:07you're prone to all kinds of illness, impacts, TB.
15:12TB is the most common.
15:13That's why when we see someone with HIV who doesn't take medicine,
15:18later on we diagnose them to have TB.
15:21And then vice versa, if they have TB,
15:24that's why they're not getting better, they already have HIV positive.
15:28So that's really a coincidence.
15:31And that's why we're warning key populations,
15:33these are our populations that are at risk.
15:37Among themselves, be careful.
15:41We feel those that are high risk,
15:44the most important thing is to be literate or have knowledge
15:48on how to spread these diseases.
15:50And we can prevent it.
15:51That's the good thing.
15:52We can prevent it.
15:53For those who are young,
15:55tigdas and bulutong,
15:58during the summer period,
16:02there are a lot of cases.
16:04How can we make a difference?
16:06The eyes of mothers and fathers that it's not mpax,
16:10maybe it's tigdas or bulutong.
16:13That's right.
16:14Mpax is the offspring of smallpox.
16:18Smallpox has been eradicated for a long time.
16:21Chickenpox, herpes zoster,
16:24those are the offspring.
16:26Varicella zoster and herpes zoster,
16:29those are the offspring.
16:32Both of these diseases, measles, chickenpox or bulutong tubig,
16:38and herpes,
16:40those are preventable with vaccines.
16:43We call them vaccine preventable diseases.
16:47We have a national immunization program
16:51where children can receive nine vaccines that are vaccine preventable.
17:00When we came from the outbreak in Barb,
17:04because there were a lot of children there who were not vaccinated with measles,
17:07we made a measles outbreak response immunization
17:11and we were able to vaccinate 1.2 million children
17:15with the help of health workers in Barb.
17:18So the spread of measles was confirmed there.
17:22It's the same here in Pertusis.
17:25Do you remember a few months ago,
17:27all the towns had an outbreak of Pertusis.
17:31So we did a catch-up immunization.
17:34We got the pentavalent vaccine.
17:37There are five vaccines,
17:39measles, mpax, rubella, DPT, diphtheria, pertusis, tetanus.
17:44Those are five vaccines.
17:46We pushed to give all children below six years old.
17:51Actually, below two should be given.
17:54Two doses are needed.
17:56Of the many children we targeted to be vaccinated,
17:59what is the coverage that you have achieved now?
18:03If you're saying there are a lot of vaccines,
18:06how many percent of our children below six years old are fully immunized?
18:11Our record is 61%.
18:14It should be 95%.
18:16That means a lot of children are not available for vaccination.
18:21In Malu, we have zero-dose children.
18:26These are the children who were not able to receive even one more vaccine.
18:30Zero-dose.
18:31Other children who were given the first dose are okay.
18:34They are protected even partially.
18:36Before, we were number four in the world
18:39in the number of zero-dose children.
18:41But because of the efforts of the DOH,
18:44we went down and were no longer in the top five.
18:47So we pushed the efforts of the health workers.
18:51The problem is we are number six.
18:54But slowly, Malu, I feel we can get out of the top ten.
18:58Is there a lack of vaccines, supply, health centers, or funds?
19:03Usually, it's the system.
19:07I think it's the logistic supply chain management.
19:11They said that when the mother goes to the health center,
19:15the day she's free, there's no vaccine.
19:18I said, what is this?
19:21You go to any island in the Philippines, there's soft drink, beer, cigarette,
19:27you go to Sari-Sari store.
19:28Why is it like that?
19:29There's a system.
19:31As I said, it's a soft drink company willing to bring with their trucks
19:36our vaccines to the farthest places.
19:40All right.
19:41Of course, it's hard to bring a bag if you're traveling for a long time.
19:47That's right.
19:48It's really hard because it's a logistic issue in the province.
19:52What I call that, Malu, is the hidden cost of healthcare.
19:57We've analyzed that.
19:58There's a vaccine in the health center,
20:00but they're spending P100 for two passengers, P50,
20:06and traveling for an hour to reach the health center.
20:10Sometimes, they need that money for food.
20:13Sometimes, there's no one to take care of the other siblings,
20:18the 4-year-old, 5-year-old.
20:20They'll bring the new child, but there's no one to buy.
20:23It's really hard.
20:25As I said, let's go to each province to find out who's not vaccinated
20:30and house-to-house.
20:32Because it's expensive.
20:34If you've been to the islands in the Philippines,
20:36in the provinces, the health center is really far.
20:39Right?
20:40Usually, it's far.
20:41Or sometimes, they don't even know where the health center is.
20:44Or what day the doctor or nurse is there.
20:47Yes, that's right.
20:48Or if the vaccine is available.
20:50That's our difficulties there.
20:52We call it the hidden cost of healthcare.
20:55Unless you bring it, you won't be vaccinated.
21:00So my order to the DOH is to partner with the barangay health worker
21:04and go to Purok.
21:06I call it Purok Kalusugan.
21:08Go to Purok.
21:09There are Purok leaders there.
21:11They know who are the children under six in one area.
21:14They know who are the pregnant mothers.
21:17They know who are the elderly with diabetes and hypertension.
21:21Let's partner with them.
21:22And then, let's offer the health services.
21:25It's a different mentality because before,
21:27they were just waiting at the health center.
21:30If that's the case, if there's no massage,
21:32there's no time,
21:33they won't go there.
21:35If you go to a house,
21:37you'll say,
21:38you'll get vaccinated.
21:39We heard that you're two years old.
21:41Here, we brought the vaccine.
21:43You'll be able to talk to the grandmother.
21:45You'll be able to talk to the mother.
21:47Sometimes, the other siblings.
21:48You'll see that the siblings are malnourished.
21:50You'll see that the grandmother has diabetes and high blood pressure.
21:53There's no medicine.
21:54You'll see that the father has TB.
21:56Right?
21:57I want to go back to that time
21:59when doctors and health workers really went to their homes.
22:03The Purok leaders know all of that.
22:05Okay.
22:06You have a lot of solidarity, Doc.
22:08I saw that there was an issue with leptospirosis.
22:13I heard that the number is lower so far.
22:172,100.
22:18Last year, it was 2,300.
22:20Same period.
22:21But how can we avoid this?
22:24The Philippines or Metro Manila and other big cities will be affected
22:30if there's a typhoon.
22:32Those are the numbers you're talking about.
22:35Those are the numbers from January to August.
22:37Correct.
22:38But our numbers after Carina and Habagat,
22:41when the president and I went around,
22:44the flood, the state of calamity,
22:47we recorded more than 700.
22:50More than that?
22:51Yes, 700.
22:53And of that 700,
22:55around 30 died.
22:57And the worst,
22:59around one-third were children.
23:02Those I saw were swimming.
23:04So I said,
23:06maybe children should be prohibited from swimming
23:09and swimming in the flood
23:10because it's high risk for leptospirosis.
23:12You know, leptospirosis is a vector-borne illness.
23:15It's like a plague.
23:16What spreads there is the flood.
23:19That's why the flood is increasing.
23:22And this is National Capital Region.
23:24Because our solid waste management is not up to par.
23:29Our surroundings are dirty.
23:31In fact,
23:32I'm sure when you were a kid,
23:34you saw Metro Manila.
23:35It's clean.
23:36So what happens is,
23:37when you drive around Metro Manila,
23:39you'll see that all the garbage is piled up in one corner.
23:42And when it rains,
23:43that pile
23:45is where the flood comes from.
23:48Because there's food in the flood.
23:50Then the flood increases.
23:51So when your child is swimming,
23:53he's swimming in the flood.
23:55And of course,
23:56after one week,
23:57the child has leptospirosis.
23:58Right.
23:59So this transmission,
24:00the flood is a vector?
24:02Yes.
24:03So it's like a plague?
24:06Yes,
24:07because leptospirosis lives in the blood
24:10and spreads to the uterus
24:12and to the bloodstream.
24:14Dr. Ted,
24:15what should they monitor?
24:17Symptoms?
24:18And what should they do immediately
24:21when there's leptospirosis?
24:23Yes,
24:24leptospirosis is also like a flu.
24:26You get sick,
24:27but the uterus really can't move.
24:29It's just lying down.
24:30And that's what we noticed.
24:32Because I've been the head of the emergency department for a long time.
24:35We have a diagnosis that was brought to us late.
24:38The eyes turn yellow,
24:40and the kidneys shut down.
24:42So by the time that happened,
24:44we needed to dialysis it.
24:46It also needed to be put in the ICU.
24:48That's why I'm pushing for lepto.
24:51Because number one,
24:52the mortality rate is high.
24:54Almost as high as 10%
24:56can die from it.
24:58So you see,
24:5930 died out of 700.
25:01And then,
25:02it's expensive.
25:03That's why we discovered lepto.
25:05The executive director of NKTI called for help.
25:09Because he already converted his basketball court
25:13with 40 patients.
25:15And he also has other patients in the ICU.
25:18So,
25:19if you're in the ICU,
25:21you need one nurse to take care of two critically ill patients.
25:25So you can't just have one nurse in 10.
25:27You really need to have a tutor.
25:29Then,
25:30you need to dialysis it three times a week.
25:32The cost of one patient with lepto
25:35is almost 300,000.
25:37The government is paying for it.
25:40We can prevent it from spreading.
25:41Not only that,
25:42you can die
25:43if you're caught in lepto.
25:45So,
25:46it's very important for them to understand
25:48that this call I'm making
25:50is for parents only.
25:52Just stop the kids
25:54from swimming in the river.
25:55They say,
25:56it's clean,
25:57but it's dirty.
25:58Actually,
25:59it's not clean.
26:00Everyone is swimming in the river.
26:02It's the river water that's overflowing.
26:05So,
26:06it's really dirty water.
26:07Our countrymen need to be educated.
26:10But in your 700 cases,
26:12did you profile them?
26:14Who are the affected?
26:15Most of them are poor.
26:17What do you do?
26:18Well,
26:19they're in a public hospital.
26:21I also have a friend who's a doctor
26:23and has lepto.
26:24His story is different.
26:26He lives in Marikina.
26:28He evacuated his house.
26:31But he came back
26:32after the flood.
26:33He didn't drown in the flood.
26:35But he cleaned his house's gutter.
26:37He has lepto.
26:39After two weeks,
26:40he had lepto.
26:41So,
26:42it can also be in the gutter,
26:43not just in the flood.
26:45So, it's really important
26:46to have boots
26:47if you're going to clean your house.
26:48We also have cases in PGH.
26:51He had lepto,
26:52but he didn't drown in the flood.
26:54Our theory is,
26:56he drank from a can of soft drinks.
26:59If the can is filled with blood,
27:02it can also cause lepto.
27:05So, our theory is,
27:06he got lepto
27:07from a can of soft drinks
27:09that was filled with blood.
27:11So, it's very important
27:12to have rodent control.
27:13It should be a program
27:15of our local chief executives.
27:17And it should still be cleaned.
27:19It's still cleanliness.
27:21I just want to ask,
27:22do you have an estimate
27:25because 20 typhoons
27:27visit the Philippines
27:29every year on average.
27:31So, that means,
27:32especially if our drains
27:34and our creeks
27:36have no place
27:38if the rainfall is strong,
27:40the cases of leptospirosis
27:42will increase again and again.
27:44Do you have an estimate
27:46like a medium-term plan?
27:47Or what you're saying
27:49is a whole-of-government approach?
27:51Yes.
27:52Well, I think
27:54it's part of public health
27:56because I already thought
27:58about this problem
28:00by the original director
28:01and undersecretary.
28:02Because every year,
28:03that's my only problem.
28:05When you find out
28:07what lepto is,
28:08it's a vector-borne illness.
28:10In public health,
28:13how do you control
28:14vector-borne illness?
28:15You control the vector.
28:17So, like in dengue,
28:19if you reduce the mosquito,
28:20the dengue will decrease.
28:21It's the same with lepto.
28:23If you reduce the dengue,
28:24the lepto will decrease.
28:26So, how do we reduce the dengue?
28:28Well, solid waste management.
28:31Let's fix it.
28:32Let's put them in containers.
28:34Make sure that it's not spread.
28:36And then, it has a cover.
28:38Or it can be disposed of
28:39and brought to the dump site
28:41or some place
28:43where it will be cleaned.
28:45There are a lot of
28:46suggestions, right?
28:48The illness that we're still
28:50concerned about
28:51when it comes to the public health system
28:53is dengue.
28:54What's the situation now?
28:55Has it increased in some places?
28:57And in other places,
28:58have they declared
28:59a public health emergency?
29:01Outbreak.
29:02We have students
29:03and municipalities
29:05that have declared
29:06because their cases have increased
29:08by more than 50%
29:09from the previous year.
29:11So, we're in the national
29:13like we're in the 30%
29:15according to the Epidemiology Bureau.
29:18Actually,
29:21it's dengue season.
29:23Usually, bare months
29:24is dengue season.
29:26September, October,
29:27November, December.
29:29And in our epidemiology curve,
29:32the dengue is really high.
29:34It almost disappeared
29:36during COVID.
29:38I thought COVID
29:39will completely disappear
29:40because maybe people
29:41are not moving.
29:43Maybe there's a little trash
29:44because everyone is at home.
29:46So, again,
29:48this is a mosquito.
29:49Mosquitoes are eating
29:51the water collected
29:52on the sides.
29:53And the mosquitoes are laying eggs
29:55there.
29:57So, to me,
29:58vector control.
29:59And if we know the season,
30:01let's take care of the kids.
30:03Buy insect repellent,
30:06mosquito repellent
30:07that they can spread
30:08so that they won't bite in school.
30:10Long sleeves or
30:12long pants
30:14so that they won't get
30:16mosquito bites.
30:19And make sure that
30:21other LGUs spray
30:23if there's a lot of mosquitoes
30:25during the season.
30:27So, that's what we're doing.
30:29The good news,
30:30Malu,
30:31hospitals used to be full
30:33during the dengue season.
30:35Now, we're able to control
30:37because we already have
30:39a rapid test,
30:40the NS1.
30:41So, my mom is panicking
30:43because we'll go to the emergency
30:45and we'll test the blood
30:47of her child.
30:48If it's dengue,
30:49we'll know if it's really dengue
30:51or not.
30:52Although it's not 100%,
30:54it also has false negatives.
30:56It can still be dengue.
30:58The case management,
31:00the early detection,
31:01and the danger point.
31:03Because as you said,
31:04there's something
31:05that needs to be monitored
31:06because it's also
31:07difficult to start.
31:09We've become better.
31:10You know,
31:11our mortality rate
31:12for dengue is
31:130.01, I think.
31:15It's just a little bit.
31:16Unlike when I was young,
31:17I died of HPV.
31:19Now,
31:20you can test
31:21and monitor.
31:23You'll be hydrated
31:24because good hydration
31:25is usually dehydrated.
31:27So, the sperm can be hydrated
31:28if you're vomiting
31:29and you can't eat.
31:30And,
31:31the platelet is monitored
31:32so that before it goes down,
31:34there's blood transfusion.
31:36So, it's self-limiting.
31:38In fact,
31:39I'm happy
31:40when I see
31:41the pediatricians
31:42who are already good
31:43at treating dengue.
31:44It's just important
31:45to go to the doctor
31:46right away
31:47because
31:48some will say,
31:49it's nothing,
31:50it's just a flu.
31:51But it's dengue.
31:52So, those are the late cases
31:53that cause problems
31:54in the ICU.
31:55There are complications.
31:57There are cerebral
31:58and cardiac complications
31:59in the end.
32:00But if it's early,
32:01you get checked right away,
32:03you get hydrated,
32:04you recover.
32:05Most,
32:0699% of dengue
32:07recovers.
32:08Alright.
32:09How many days
32:10does it take
32:11for the onset
32:12of the fever
32:13and the bruise
32:14to heal?
32:15Anywhere from
32:164 to 10 days.
32:17That's fast.
32:18That's faster.
32:19And,
32:20for the flu,
32:21as you can see,
32:22they have spots
32:23that are common.
32:24Like,
32:25the bruise
32:26that is a sign
32:27of dengue.
32:28So,
32:29it's very common
32:30if the doctors
32:31suspect
32:32that there are
32:33dengue rushes.
32:34Is the dengue
32:35bruise
32:36red and not
32:37blue?
32:38Yes,
32:39it's red
32:40and not blue.
32:41Yes,
32:42it's red.
32:43It's not watery.
32:44So,
32:45it's red
32:46like an allergy.
32:47Yes.
32:48Is it itchy?
32:49It's not itchy.
32:50It's itchy,
32:51but
32:52usually,
32:53it's not itchy.
32:54It's noticeable,
32:55especially
32:56in children.
32:57In the chest
32:58and here
32:59in the arms.
33:00The smell
33:01of white blood
33:02cells.
33:03The platelets.
33:04The platelets
33:05really
33:06go down.
33:07What period
33:08is
33:09your
33:10case?
33:11So,
33:12after some
33:13time,
33:14that's the
33:15time
33:16when the
33:17fever
33:18rises,
33:19that's the
33:20time the
33:21platelets
33:22start to
33:23drop.
33:24So,
33:25below
33:2610,000
33:27platelets.
33:28So,
33:29below
33:3010,000
33:31hemorrhagic
33:32dengue
33:33fever.
33:34So,
33:35hemorrhagic
33:36dengue
33:37fever.
33:38So,
33:39that's what
33:40we don't
33:41want to
33:42reach.
33:43And that's
33:44the one
33:45that has
33:46a high
33:47mortality
33:48rate.
33:49The
33:50profile
33:51of those
33:52who are
33:53infected with
33:54dengue,
33:55especially
33:56in the
33:57provinces
33:58with
33:59outbreaks,
34:00how many
34:01years
34:02are the
34:03children
34:04or groups
34:05vulnerable?
34:06So,
34:07the first
34:08dengue is
34:09going to
34:10be mild.
34:11But the
34:12second time
34:13you have
34:14dengue,
34:15it will
34:16activate
34:17the antibody
34:18response
34:19of your
34:20body.
34:21And
34:22this is
34:23the cause
34:24of the
34:25platelet
34:26count,
34:27capillary
34:28leak,
34:29dehydration.
34:30So,
34:31the second
34:32dengue
34:33is more
34:34serious.
34:36And
34:37usually,
34:38these are
34:39the children
34:40who are
34:419 years
34:42old and
34:43below.
34:449 years
34:45old,
34:46yes.
34:47You can
34:48get infected
34:49with dengue
34:50every year.
34:51What
34:52variety?
34:53We also
34:54monitor
34:55the predominant
34:56dengue
34:57for that
34:58season.
34:59So,
35:00I have
35:01that data
35:02as soon
35:03as we
35:04have
35:05that
35:06data.
35:07So,
35:08that's
35:09the
35:10reason
35:11why we
