Pangilinan explained acute bloody diarrhea is usually a sign of invasive enteric infection that carries a substantial risk of serious morbidity and death, especially in children in developing countries.

She revealed the disease is characterized by a cute fever and bloody diarrhea, and can also present with systemic symptoms and signs as well as dehydration, especially in the young children.

According to her overcrowded areas with unsafe drinking water and poor sanitation are the most common risk factors in the contraction of the illness.

The DOH-CAR official noted clustering of acute bloody diarrhea cases were reported in Baguio city and Mountain Province, thus, all health sectors were encouraged to intensify surveillance for early prevention and control.

Pangilinan underscored maintenance of good personal hygiene, hand washing with soap and water, and good environmental sanitation are practical ways by which to help reduce the number of individuals contracting the said illness.
