EGLISH 8-QUIZ # 2
MELC: Explain visual-verbal relationships illustrated in tables, graphs, and information maps found in
expository texts.

Directions: Read the graphical representation and the text below. In your notebook, answer the questions that
follow.

DOH surveillance reporting system defines acute bloody diarrhea (ABD) as “a person with acute
diarrhea with visible blood in the stool”. Since the early 1900s, ABD was reported as dysentery in the
Philippine Health Statistics annual publication until dysentery reporting was merged with diarrhea
reporting in 1984. Dysentery is bloody diarrhea caused by any of the following common pathogens:
Shigella dysenteriae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Clostridium difficile, shiga toxin–producing strains of
Escherichia coli (STEC), Yersinia enterocolitica, and Entamoeba histolytica (amoebic dysentery). The
mode of transmission is through ingestion of contaminated food or water. Pathogenesis involves bacterial
production of toxins which destroy the mucosal epithelial cells leading to inflammation and bleeding.
However, acute bloody diarrhea may also be non-infectious in origin. Other diseases that lead to ABD are
drug-induced colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, ischemic colitis, and antibiotic-associated colitis among
others. Because the definition of ABD is broad and may have different causes, the number of food and
waterborne-related ABD cases reported in the PHS and FHSIS from 2008 to 2017 is unknown.
Morbidity case rates for acute bloody diarrhea have fluctuated over the last ten years with a significant
spike in 2010 and a rapidly increasing trend from 2014 to 2016, until a sudden decline in 2017. Limitations
in the availability of peer-reviewed publications explaining the phenomenon suggest investment on
researches and improved data utilization and analysis. Source: Department of Health.

1. What information does the table show? 2

2. Which year had the most number of acute bloody diarrhea cases?
3. Which year had the least number of acute bloody diarrhea cases?
4. What is the trend in the morbidity rate of the cases? Explain.
5. How do you think would these data help in addressing the issue on this particular food and
water-borne disease?
