Answering this question on the afternoon of September 13, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien, Director of the Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, affirmed: “Up to now, Vietnam has not discovered There are no cases of leukemia infection and leukopenia leading to death originating from dog ticks. And in Vietnam, there is no information about this disease.”
However, according to him Obviously, dog ownership in our country is very popular, so it is difficult to avoid the appearance of dog ticks. Therefore, in the near future, Vietnam will increase monitoring of cases of insect bites and flu-like symptoms (pain). Headache, fatigue, fever, body aches and pain…) These are the basic signs of patients who died in China when bitten by this type of dog tick.
In addition, Mr. Hien also believes that in theory this disease is not only transmitted to humans from dog ticks but can be transmitted from person to person. Therefore, to prevent the risk of the disease being transmitted into Vietnam, Mr. Hien believes that it is necessary to check and monitor at the border gate Especially monitoring people with fever and spots like insect bites.
Recently in Vietnam, people have also been stirred by information about blood-sucking stink
bugs appearing right in Hanoi. Noi. People are also very concerned about the blood-sucking stink bugs that transmit dangerous diseases like the dog ticks that appear in China? Regarding this issue, Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung, Director of the Institute of Malaria –
Parasites – Insects The Central Government said: “The blood-sucking stink bug that has existed in Vietnam for a long time only causes local discomfort and has not been confirmed to transmit dangerous diseases. Meanwhile, the dog tick that bites humans in China causes infection.” Leukopenia is dangerous to the patient’s life. Therefore, these
types of insects are completely different.
Epidemiological
experts warn when infected with strange insects. People who
bite people should use soap to clean the wound and use topical medications. If there is still swelling and other strange signs, go to a
medical facility immediately for timely examination and treatment.
