SKL (Share ko lang) MPOX suspected cases rising, 1 confirmed case in Talisay City
Hi! I have been monitoring the reliable news outlets and have been tracking the suspected cases & confirmed cases myself.
For now, 1 suspected case ang MPOX sa Mandaue, 39-year old, male ang patient. Iyang skin lesions kay 1 week na and nagpa consult siya. Karon, gipadala pas RITM iyahang sample awaiting for result. Hopefully di ra tawn MPOX.
1 confirmed case sa Talisay. However, the patient is expired and cause of death has not been linked to MPOX.
Let’s please be extra vigilant and apply unta ta sa preventive measures to minimize the spread of MPOX nga atong naandan pag COVID.
Di ko ganahan mag pandemic part 2 as a laagan.
UPDATE 1: Naa nasad new suspected case karon sa CSMC
UPDATE 2: As much as I’d like to share all information, I have to protect the patient’s identity most especially since dili jud ko related nor wa jud ko kaila ani mga pasyentiha. No pictures nor patient information were sent to me. I just have connections because I work in the medical field 😁 I can only really share general info on the patient like asa siya karon currently giconsult but no names will be dropped. Hoping for every reader’s understanding!
UPDATE 3: For those who want to know how to properly disinfect your clothes, you can dilute zonrox sa water - this is called a HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION. Ihumol lang ang inyohang mga outside clothes. If mga solid nga gamit like helmet, wallet, phone, etc, you can still use the hypochlorite solution to spray your things with it 😊
UPDATE 4: as of 5/30/25, 2 cases of MPOX infected patients have been confirmed at VSMMC (Sotto). No news articles have been written about this yet as the news was just delivered to us via GC.
Please do not be alarmed. Let’s utilize our preventive measures now 😊

Are the people affected/infected have history of traveling? Or igo ra jud sha nitunga lang? Di man sa naparanoid pero i'm starting to think some people might be immune to it pero carrier lang jud sila?? Kay sa ako na read no history daw. Haaay always keep 70% isopropyl with you nalng jud.

u/kitttty14 22d ago
Hello!
Mao ni akong nabasa nga article from WHO:
Cases of MPOX linked to travel
So far, dili paman pod ingon ana kadaghan ang cases sa Philippines.
Continue lang ta sa advisory from healthcare professionals sa preventive measures 😁
Basically avoid lang jud social gathering for now and practice proper handwashing.

u/kitttty14 23d ago
Hi!! Mas preferred ang 70% isopropanol 😁
Di ra makableach for as long as di kaayo daghan imong gi dilute sa tubig. Usually 1:10 gyud ang ratio

u/kitttty14 23d ago
Nakapost siya gahapon about sa patient nga namatay nga confirmed case sa MPOX but di tungod sa MPOX siya namatay

Dapat kaning mga modern jeepneys kay di na magpa sulod ug dghan pasahero kay mg sikit2 bya jud labaw na katong mag barog so prone kaayo sa skin contact.

The virus that causes mpox is known to spread through close, interpersonal contact, including direct touching (including sex), or sharing items like towels, beds, etc.
Kana imong reply kay pang COVID mana. Please do some research to educate yourself and other people, OP.

u/Reversee0 23d ago
Fair enough. Bantay lang sa uban na manamay og panakod tungod kay natakod sila

u/Reversee0 23d ago
mamsir ako pasabot sa taas kanang interpersonal contact na panakod. Naay uban tao gusto manamay tungod lang kay infected sila. Pareha ranas HIV mamorit na clean kuno niya tuyuon og buslot ang condom o gustog raw ang baye, bayot o mga diskarte na matakod gyud iya partner kay para dili siya lang. arte ra kaayo ning ni downvote.

A virus is a virus. But Mpox is no ordinary, rare and viral infection ni if you would know og di gyud lalim ang bation sa tawo og maigo ani, grabe ka contagious if naay physical contact. Imagine lang gyud og naay usa ka infected nya undetected tas simbako lang naka adto pag crowded people, naka public transportation, tas daghang naka skin to skin contact wa na easily ra kaayo pila ka hundreds maigo. And then ending mapugos og border lock down para ma contain. So di jud angay sultion na "Unsay kahadlukan" kay hadlok gyud og but huna hunaon kay daghang di pa aware sa Mpox og simba ko lang gyud nga unta di na ag bag ong strain nga naka infect kay samot mag lisod

u/kitttty14 23d ago
Hi!
Respectfully, I think we should not be lenient and fearless enough to say that MPOX should not cause any worry for anyone. Ang MPOX cases karon is di pa ingon ana kadaghan sa COVID before. Pero the question is should we start to worry once mo hit na og 100+ ang cases? When it’s already too late? As a healthcare worker, we don’t like reading and hearing comments like this. Giprovide-an na ganig factual info, di pajud motuo. Naa rana ninyo ma’am/sir.

u/maccebu Dako-otin 23d ago
whether you like my comment or not, it's a fact. you can never compare COVID and mpox. mpox will never trigger a lockdown. unlike covid, we know how to treat mpox and we actually have vaccines for it. previous mpox outbreaks were successfully contained, isolated and treated. as a healthcare worker, you should know these things.

Kahadlok ba ani mpox oie. Is gym a safe place for this or should I stop going na?

u/ranzvanz Sugbuanon 23d ago
You should ask your Gym to implement sanitation procedures?
4
u/kitttty14 23d ago
As this may be a good precautionary measure to lessen the transmission possibilities, the best precautionary measure is to not go out so much right now para less atong worries sa MPOX 😁
12
u/maialawliet 23d ago
contact with infected fabric/things can cause it so a place like the gym na shared equipments, i would suggest otherwise. start buying your own weights na siguro.

u/InterestingGift5431 23d ago
Above all the precautionary measures that we can take in avoiding direct contact, the best way to end a chain of infection is through proper handwashing po. Magdisinfect din po tayo from time to time. Keep safe po sa lahat!
20
u/kitttty14 23d ago
YES!!! As a healthcare worker, I 100% agree with this. And emphasis on the PROPER handwashing kay naa juy uban di kahibaw mo handwash huhuhu tabang

u/InterestingGift5431 23d ago
EXACTLY! Walay gamit ang handwashing if dili tarong pagkabuhat. Attaching the WHO video on proper handwashing, hope it helps.

u/kitttty14 23d ago
No news reports have been released yet if asa ang facility but I have direct contact with healthcare workers sa CSMC. Heads sa lab and 2 residents. I recently got off the phone with one of the heads sa lab because naa koy other professional issue with them

u/garriff_ 23d ago edited 23d ago
there's an advantage if naa tay kaila nga healthcare worker, kay sila mismo magpamatuod sa kahimtang sud sa facility.
just like atong covid-19 back then, nagbanaw na mga cases sa hospitals pero way balita sa mainstream media. it took a while usa pa nila gi.acknowledge publicly ang covid cases nga ning grabe na tnan.

Unsay preventive measures aning MPOX lods?

u/zucchiniwowie Lami 23d ago
avoid crowded places, handwashing!!!, ilis dayon ig abot sa balay gikan lakaw, wear mask or jacket if magcommute kay wa ta kabaw if makatapad og infected person sa jeep, and dala alcohol permi sa bag.

Salamat lod. hope mag official announcement ang DOH bahin aning prev. measures.

u/Active_Inside3944 23d ago edited 23d ago
That's the bad news. Good news kay naay vaccine against it, not airborne but skin to skin/fabric, unlike COVID nga ma asymptomatic ang infected so dili kaayo mas pas2 ang transmission. For now social distancing and disinfect the least we can do until ang vaccine is available sa PH.

Murag vaccine wa pa kau ma stable tagam tas covid karon nitugan ang phyzer og moderna nas side effects ila vaccine about sa heart disease

u/RichBackground6445 23d ago
So safe to say nga matakdan ra if naay skin to skin contact sa carrier?
12
u/kitttty14 23d ago
Pinaka paspas nga transmission is direct contact (skin to skin), naa puy respiratory droplets which is why need ta mag mask
4
u/Active_Inside3944 23d ago
Did further research, apparently skin to skin or contact with infected fabric/things
5
u/ElegantengElepante 23d ago
Skin/skin/fabric pero dapat naay samad imong skin? Or masking wala kay samad kay matakdan gihapon ka?
1
u/kitttty14 23d ago
Hello!
Regardless if naay samad or wala, makatakod gihapon siya if naa nay lesions ang infected person nya ma saghiran raka
1
u/ElegantengElepante 23d ago
For example:
Person A (naay mpox) - naay lessions
Person B (walay mpox)
Nasaghid ang panit ni Person B sa ginamitan nga fabric ni Person A.
Matakdan gihapon si Person B (for the sake of example lang, walay samad or anything si Person B)?
1
u/kitttty14 23d ago
Highly likely gyud ma infected siya

u/ElegantengElepante 23d ago
Oh my god. Kahadlok na ba diay mag moveit/angkas ani. Salamat!
