42 Guidelines for the management of leptospirosis But
43 The guidelines were shared with implementors : Department of Health Philippine Medical Association Philippine Hospital Association Philippine College of Physicians Philippine Academy of Family Physicians Frontline doctors
44 Vehicles : Short Message Service (SMS) Newspapers Media
45 As a result, the Department of Health : Gave out free Doxycycline to individuals in high risk areas Financed dialysis in some private hospitals
46 Leptospirosis wards : Advantages : Concentration of expertise Shorten learning curve Sharing of resources
47 Case Fatality Rate : 6 % Cases Deaths
48 Predictors of Mortality (Phil experience) Jaundice Platelet Count <100,000 ph <7.2 SCrea >3 mg/dl K > 5 meq/dl Na < 135 meq/dl ARDS/Pulm Hge Weil Syndrome PSN Leptospirosis Study Group

50 Subsequent occurrence of super typhoons with potential leptospirosis outbreak, the following steps are undertaken : The public is sensitize and made aware of the possibility of the outbreak through media i.e., radio and television. The different specialty societies concerned with implementation of guidelines are galvanized into action through a meeting.
51 Subsequent occurrence of super typhoons Information campaign to appropriate frontline doctors: SMS Distribution of booklets Additional concerns were monitored.
52 Some hospitals crafted leptospirosis management protocols (administrative and technical) for outbreaks. For influx of > 10 leptospirosis cases in 12 hours, a special ward will be created. Processes and procedures are put in in place to address the influx.
53 Cases of Leptospirosis Cases Deaths CFR Philippine DOH Data
54 Lessons Learned Importance of : a. Collaboration among specialty societies b. Creation of guidelines that are properly situated in the area of occurrence c. Application of up-to-date technology in the context of the locality d. Coordination with implementing societies / units
55 Importance of e. Creation of opportunities for optimum implementation of guidelines f. Responsive and dynamic systems g. Timely intervention h. Private and government sector role in outbreaks
56 Outline : a. Definition of Epidemic b. Leptospirosis c. Philippine Experience d. Summary and Conclusion
57 Conclusion : Outbreaks of leptospirosis can be truly a disease burden. While we cannot control the environment and its natural disasters, leptospirosis epidemic usually presents with a triggering event.
58 Conclusion With concerted efforts and appropriate strategic moves we can perhaps keep the case fatality rate at the non-epidemic level.
