Dengue Outbreak in Sagunto & Artacho

Jeanette on Jul 25th 2010

The much anticipated rainy season after the unusually hot ‘El Nino’ summer has arrived. However, the heavy rains also brings with it various health problems. Heavy rains, almost daily, brings with it the prevalence of standing pools of water that are ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes (Aedes Egypti) carrying the virus. Because of this, the incidence of confirmed cases of Dengue fever has been slowly rising all over the Philippines but in Sison, barangays Sagunto and Artacho have been identified to have more cases than usual this year.

Dengue fever is typically characterized as a benign and non-fatal febrile disease similar to influenza. However, like influenza, Dengue fever has different types and levels.

Classic Dengue Fever presents with what is considered to be flu-like symptoms: fever, headache, exhaustion, rashes, and severe muscle pain, frequently accompanied by sore throat, dizziness, loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms typically last for 5-7 days with fever usually not exceeding 40.5°C which “may subside only to return, reaching its peak on the last day of the febrile phase.”

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a more severe, more lethal form of infection. DHF symptoms include: fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and bleeding. Complications from DHF can lead to internal bleeding, pneumonia and inflammation of the heart. Approximately 30% of Classic Dengue Fever cases can progress to DHF (as is the case of several known cases in Sagunto and Artacho).

Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) can develop in patients with severe DHF. DSS is a extremely dangerous and lethal. Patients without proper treatment can die within 12-24 hours. DSS manifests suddenly and often unexpectedly as it comes on after the fever has subsided and is often accompanied by acute abdominal pain. Subsequent symptoms are: sweating, cold extremities, restlessness, subnormal temperature, blotchy, cold and clammy skin and rapid and weak pulse.
