There are 2,396 leptospirosis cases logged nationwide from June 8 to August 7, 2025, the Department of Health said on Monday. DOH spokesperson Albert Domingo noted that the figure is based on verified cases recorded in various hospitals. “Lilinawin ko po ito, dahil malamang po sasabihin dahil yung mga ospital, kapag sinumatotal yung mga numbers, parang mas mataas dito. Mayroon po kasi tayong verification.
“Pero itong numero na ito ay pwede pang madagdagan dahil yung incubation period ay hindi pa lumalampas ‘yung buong isang buwan,” Domingo added, noting that incubation period for the disease caused by the leptospira bacteria, which is found in rat’s urine, is from two up to 30 days. The DOH said of the said figure, Metro Manila has the highest number of cases.
