Dirty water downs 39 in Pasay.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Blanche S. Rivera and Nancy C. Carvajal
CONTAMINATED water downed 39 residents of a barangay in Pasay City over the weekend, triggering a probable outbreak of typhoid fever in the area, the Department of Health said yesterday.
A team from the DOH National Epidemiology Center and the Pasay City health office made the rounds of barangay 123 on Saturday and found 39 people showing symptoms of typhoid fever.
Typhoid fever is caused by the salmonella typhi bacteria. Fever, headache, malaise or weakness, constipation among adults and diarrhea among children, are its most common symptoms.
Dr. Tony San Juan of the DOH-NEC said rectal swabs from 39 residents of El Facundo, Medina and Alfonso Isidro streets were sent to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine for culture.
"The culprit is most probably the water because residents have complained of foul-smelling water from their faucets," San Juan told the Inquirer yesterday.
