1 On June 16, the Philippine Department of Health announced that 8,246 cases of dengue fever were reported nationwide during the two-week period from June 2 to June 15, 2024, a 30% increase from the 6,323 cases reported from May 19 to June 1, and the number of infected people remains high. The number of cases remains high. In this situation, there have been confirmed cases of dengue fever infection among Japanese residents in the region, so if you suspect infection, please visit a medical institution as soon as possible.
2 Dengue fever is transmitted by the bite of the Striped Striped Mosquito, which carries the pathogenic virus, or the Human Striped Striped Mosquito, so prevention is to avoid mosquito bites. It is essential to take sufficient measures against mosquitoes, such as wearing long sleeves and long pants to minimize skin exposure and using insect repellents (e.g., insect repellent sprays). Infection usually causes severe headache, deep eye pain, joint and muscle pain, and rash, and fever lasts for about 5 days. In severe cases, dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome, which has a high mortality rate, may develop in rare cases, so if you suspect infection, you should seek medical attention immediately.
