Permanent Secretary for Public Health MD. Paijit Warachit has
revealed a new record high of people contracting leptospirosis. The
statistics have prompted health officials to tell people to avoid
walking barefooted in the muddy fields.

According to Dr. Paijit, the number of patients has reached 1043
during the 1st 7 months of this year [2011], and so far, 16 of them
have died.
Leptospirosis is a common disease found during the rainy
season. A person can contract the disease by being exposed to
infected water from puddles, ponds and animal urine.

The symptoms include nausea, red eyes, constipation and high fever.
People are told not to wade into the water with their bare feet,
especially if they have wounds. Among all regions in Thailand, the
Northeast has reported the highest number of patients at 568,
followed by the South, the North and the Central region.

Over 50 percent of the patients are farmers. The rest include
students, soldiers, police and monks. However, Dr. Paijit said
children were among those at risk because of their nature. They could
contract the disease in the playground or when they walk into a
puddle containing bacteria.

He added that adults would normally not detect anything unusual and
would assume their children had a normal flu. Parents are encouraged
to take their children to see a doctor if they are unsure about the symptoms.

[Leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease that affects humans
and animals and is caused by spirochetes of the genus _Leptospira_.
The incubation period of the illness is 2 days to 4 weeks. Symptoms
include high fever, severe headache, chills, muscle aches, and
vomiting, and may include jaundice, red eyes, abdominal pain,
diarrhea, or a rash. Leptospirosis occurs worldwide but is most
common in temperate or tropical climates. _Leptospira_ organisms have
been found in cattle, pigs, horses, dogs, rodents, and wild animals.

Humans become infected through contact with water, food, or soil
containing urine from these infected animals. The disease is not
known to be spread from person to person. Leptospirosis is treated
with antibiotics, such as doxycycline or penicillin. If the disease
is not treated, the patient could develop kidney damage, meningitis,
liver failure, and respiratory distress. The risk of acquiring
leptospirosis can be reduced by not swimming or wading in water that
might be contaminated with animal urine, or eliminating contact with
potentially infected animals (see http://www.cdc.gov/leptospirosis/).

According to the Thai Ministry of Public Health, Bureau of
Epidemiology (BOE) report on leptospirosis, available in Thai at
http://www.boe.moph.go.th/boedb/surdata/disease.php?ds=43, between
1 Jan 2011 and 24 Jul 2011, a total of 1139 cases and 17 fatalities
were reported from 66 provinces. The attack rate was 1.79 per 100 000
population, with a case fatality rate (CFR) of 1.49 percent. The
south region has the highest attack rate (per 100 000 population) of
leptospirosis (3.38), followed by the northeastern (2.96), north
(1.44) and central regions (0.16).

The highest percentage of cases was reported in the 45-54 years old
age group (22.12 percent), followed by the 35-44 years old age group
(19.67 percent), and 25-34 years old age group (16.24 percent). Most
cases are farmers (54.6 percent). High attack rates (per 100 000
population) were reported in these 5 provinces: Ranong (11.55), Nong
Bua Lam Phu (9.38), Phang Nga (9.14), Nan (8.83) and Kalasin (7.65).
