KEY CONTENT: The article tackles the Lack of Awareness among the Filipinos in terms of Dengue. It is important to have awareness as the fatality rate has increased because of the late consultation with the doctors.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Infectious disease specialist Dr. Rontgene Solante said in a briefing on Tuesday, June 6, that lack of awareness of dengue symptoms and late consultation are among the leading causes of dengue-related deaths in the country.

"Napaka-importante ng awareness kung merong sintomas because based on the 2015, 2016 WHO [World Health Organization] report wherein tumaas yung case fatality rate natin kadalasan doon sa mga namamatay ng dengue dito sa Pilipinas is because of the late consultation doon sa mga doctor. Third day, 5th day na lagnat doon palang dinadala [sa ospital] (Awareness is very important if there are symptoms because based on the 2015, 2016 WHO report in which our fatality rate has increased, usually among those who die of dengue here in the Philippines is because of the late consultation with doctors. They are taken to the hospital in the 3rd to 5th day of fever already)," Solante said.

The dengue mortality rate is also prevalent among children nine years of age and younger, he revealed.

Solante also cited the importance of proper education among parents about the signs and symptoms of the dengue virus.

Moreover, he reiterated that properly cleaning the environment is still one of the best preventions against the deadly virus.

"Napaka-importante ang paglilinis ng environment, especially sa mga areas na kung saan pinupugaran ng mga lamok and ito yung mga basura, mga naipon na mga tubig, naimbak na mga tubig, and most likely even yung mga tanim kung saan doon namumungad ang mga lamok (It is very important to clean the environment, especially in the areas where mosquitoes infest and this is the garbage, accumulated water, stored water, and most likely even the plants where the mosquitoes hatch)," Solante said.
Dengue cases in the Philippines
The infectious disease expert added that the Philippines remains one of the top countries in Asia when it comes to the number of dengue cases.

It is also among the top countries that have the four serotypes of dengue viruses: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4.

He then expressed his hope for the arrival of vaccines that will help prevent the spread of dengue.

WHO said in a report that as of April 29, 2023, epidemiological week 17, there were a total of 39,947 reported dengue cases in the country, which is 43 percent higher compared to the same period last year.

Meanwhile, 127 deaths due to the disease were recorded from the beginning of the year until that date.

TITLE: Mag 4's Kontra Dengue
AUTHOR: National Economic and Development Authority
DATE: October 2, 2022
KEY CONTENT:
The 4S campaign stands for “Search and Destroy” mosquito breeding places, “Secure Self Protection” from mosquito bite, “Seek Early Consultation” when signs and symptoms of dengue occur, and “Say Yes to Fogging” as a last resort when there is an impending outbreak.

The “4-o’clock habit” seeks to enjoin the communities to take time to weed out dengue breeding sites at 4 p.m. each day.  Cleaning before evening is key to reducing the risk of dengue, as mosquitos carrying the disease are most active at dusk.
