Sakit na galing Iraq.. Nose-bleed fever, ‘di banta sa ‘Pinas — DOH

ni Lolet Abania | June 2, 2022



Maliit na tiyansa hanggang sa walang panganib o ‘little to no risk’ na ang Pilipinas ay tatamaan ng virus, na pagkakaroon ng lagnat na magiging sanhi sa mga tao na mamatay sa pagdurugo o bleed to death, isang outbreak na na-detect kamakailan sa Iraq, ayon sa Department of Health (DOH) ngayong Huwebes.


Base sa World Health Organization (WHO), sinabi ng DOH na ang Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) ay maaaring magdulot ng severe viral fever.


Ayon sa DOH, ang karaniwang sintomas nito ay pagkakaroon ng lagnat, muscle ache, pagkahilo, neck pain at stiffness, backache, headache, sore eyes, pagiging sensitibo sa liwanag, nausea, pagsusuka, diarrhea, abdominal pain, at masakit na lalamunan.


“CCHF is said to be endemic to Africa, Balkan states, the Middle East, and some northern Asian countries. The DOH sees little to no risk of the virus entering Philippine borders,” ani DOH sa isang liham na tugon sa media.


Sinabi ng DOH na ang CCHF ay karaniwang naita-transmit sa pamamagitan ng tick bites o kontak sa may infected animal blood, tissue, at fluids. “It is most prevalent in people who work in the livestock, agriculture, veterinarian, and slaughter industry,” saad ng ahensiya.


“Treatment of symptoms with general supportive care has been shown to be the main approach to manage such cases. In addition, the antiviral drug ‘ribavirin’ has been used to treat the virus,” dagdag ng DOH.


Sa latest report mula sa WHO, nabatid na ang Iraq ay nakapagtala na ng 97 kumpirmadong kaso habang 27 ang namatay dahil sa CCHF.


“The virus has no vaccine and onset can be swift, causing severe bleeding both internally and externally and especially from the nose. It causes death in as many as two-fifths of cases,” ayon sa medics ng Iraq.


Sa kabila nito, hindi naman nagrekomenda ang WHO ng anumang restriksyon kaugnay sa pag-travel at pag-trade sa Iraq.
