00:00Jessica is suffering from leptospirosis and her 17-year-old son is suffering from it.

00:09She went to see a doctor in August and found out that she hasn't been able to urinate for three days.

00:16She told me that she's just feeling dizzy because she doesn't want to go to the doctor.

00:30He said he doesn't want to have problems.

00:32Because of leptospirosis, Victor Camarines, a volunteer rescuer, is confined and undergoing dialysis.

00:39He helped to clean up the trash in their area.

00:42But after two days, he got a fever and passed out for a few days.

00:46Then he was rushed to the hospital.

00:48According to his brother, after the flood in their area,

00:51he gave Victor doxycycline but he wasn't able to drink it.

00:56He's suffering from leptospirosis.

00:58It's hard for him to walk and move.

01:00He can't eat.

01:01We thought it was just a flu.

01:06But it turned out to be leptospirosis.

01:09At the National Kidney and Transplant Institute, or NKTI, 12 new patients were admitted.

01:1510 of them are severe cases.

01:17Three patients were admitted last week.

01:19Of the 77 admitted leptospirosis patients,

01:2367 are undergoing dialysis.

01:26Surge capacity plan of the DOH is a big help in getting beds and medicines.

01:31Because they were added by nurses from other hospitals.

01:34In San Lazaro Hospital, 13 cases were added.

01:38And the number of people admitted increased to 90 because of leptospirosis.

01:43The Hospital of Manila has 37 leptospirosis patients.

01:47They were admitted from Manalas to Baguio, Carina.

01:50They are preparing for the expected increase of leptospirosis patients this rainy season.

01:55According to the DOH Patient Navigation and Referral to Healthcare Provider Network,

02:00this is what they are doing now for leptospirosis cases.

02:03So they are reminding those who are planning to go to the hospital,

02:06to call the Leptospirosis Hotlines first

02:09to know which hospital in Metro Manila has a vacancy.

02:13But if necessary, remember during COVID,

02:16we have one hospital command, National Patient Navigation.

02:19That is what we are doing now.

02:21Aside from leptospirosis, dengue cases are also being closely monitored.

02:26According to the DOH, from January 1 to July 27,

02:29128,834 dengue cases were reported in the country.

02:34This is 33 percent higher than the number of cases at the same time in 2023.
