Pehea e pale ai iā ʻoe iho mai ka maʻi meningitis? E makaʻala kākou i kēia!

Ua lohe paha ʻoe i ka meningitis, a i ʻole ka mea a mākou e kapa nei i kekahi manawa ʻo 'fiva lolo.' He maʻi koʻikoʻi ia e hoʻoulu ai i ka uhi pale a puni ko mākou lolo a me ke kaula spinal e pehu. He mea maʻamau ke manaʻo iki i ka makaʻu ke lohe ʻoe i ka inoa. Akā ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa, he nui nā mea hiki iā mākou ke hana e pale aku iā mākou iho mai kēia maʻi. ʻO nā mea maʻalahi e like me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lāʻau pale a me ka holoi ʻana i ko mākou mau lima hiki ke hōʻemi nui i ka pilikia o mākou a me ko mākou mau ʻohana e loaʻa i kēia maʻi. No laila e nānā kākou pehea e hana ai kēlā.

ʻO nā ʻano lāʻau pale nui e pale ai i ka meningitis

ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa a me ka pono loa e pale aku ai i ka meningitis, ʻo ia ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lāʻau pale meningococcal. Nui nā ʻano o kēia mau lāʻau pale. Hiki i kēia mau mea ke pale aku ma kahi o 70% o nā hihia o ka maʻi i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka bacteria meningococcal. Ma ka awelika, ʻeiwa o ka ʻumi o ka poʻe i loaʻa ka lāʻau pale ua palekana maikaʻi ʻia.

Aia ma lalo iho nā ʻano nui o nā lāʻau pale a me kahi wehewehe maʻalahi o lākou.

ʻO nā kānaka i ka pilikia kūikawā e pono ke loaʻa ka lāʻau pale

Ma waho aʻe o nā lāʻau pale maʻamau no nā kamaliʻi, ʻōlelo pū nā kauka i nā poʻe me kekahi mau kumu pilikia e kiʻi i kēia lāʻau pale. ʻO kēia mau mea:

• ʻO ka poʻe e manaʻo nei ua pili kokoke lākou me kahi maʻi meningitis: No ka mea, he kiʻekiʻe ka pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka maʻi.
• Nā haumāna makahiki mua e noho ana ma nā hale moe o ke kulanui: Kiʻekiʻe ka pilikia o ka laha ʻana o ka maʻi no ka mea he nui ka poʻe e noho pū ana.
• ʻO ka poʻe e hele ana i ke aʻo koa: Ma muli o ka noho kokoke ʻana ma nā kahua hoʻomoana.
• ʻO ka poʻe e hele ana i nā ʻāina kahi i maʻamau ai ka meningitis (e like me nā ʻāina ʻApelika).
• ʻO ka poʻe i wehe ʻia ko lākou spleen a i ʻole ʻaʻole hana pono ko lākou spleen: No ka mea, he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi ka spleen i loko o kā mākou ʻōnaehana pale kino.
• ʻO nā kānaka me nā nāwaliwali kikoʻī o ka ʻōnaehana pale: No ka laʻana, ʻo ka poʻe me nā kūlana e like me ka "terminal complement component deficiency".
• ʻO ka poʻe e hana ana i loko o nā keʻena hoʻokolohua a ua pinepine ʻia i ka bacteria meningococcal.

E hoʻomanaʻo i kēia mau mea ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lāʻau pale.

Inā maʻi loa ʻoe i ka lā o kāu lāʻau pale ʻana, e like me ke kuni, ka ʻū, a i ʻole ke anu nui, e kali a hiki i kou hoʻōla piha ʻana ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lāʻau pale. Eia kekahi, pono ʻoe e pale i ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia lāʻau pale inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kēia mau kūlana:

• Inā ua loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi hopena alerika koʻikoʻi i kahi mahele mua o kēia lāʻau pale.
• Inā he maʻi alerika koʻikoʻi kou i kekahi ʻāpana o ka lāʻau pale.

Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kekahi ʻeha iki a me ka ʻulaʻula ma kahi i inikini ʻia. He mea maʻamau kēia. Eia nō naʻe, inā ʻike ʻoe i nā hōʻailona o kahi hopena alerika koʻikoʻi e like me ke kuni nui, ka maʻi ʻole, ka paʻakikī o ka hanu ʻana, ka puʻuwai wikiwiki, a i ʻole ka poniuniu, e kāhea koke i kāu kauka a i ʻole e hele i ka lumi pilikia haukapila kokoke loa (ETU) .

ʻO kekahi lāʻau pale koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe e pale ai i ka meningitis

Hiki i ka meningitis ke hana ʻia ma ke ʻano he pilikia o nā maʻi ʻē aʻe. No laila, hiki iā mākou ke pale pololei ʻole iā mākou iho mai ka meningitis ma ka loaʻa ʻana o nā lāʻau pale e pale ai i kēia mau maʻi kumu. Hoʻokomo ʻia ka nui o kēia mau lāʻau pale i ka papahana lāʻau pale aupuni i hāʻawi ʻia i nā keiki ma ko mākou ʻāina.

Nā hana palekana ʻē aʻe e hiki ke lawe ʻia ma waho aʻe o nā lāʻau pale

ʻOiai ʻo nā lāʻau pale ko mākou pale nui, aia kekahi mau hana maʻalahi hiki iā mākou ke hahai i ko mākou ola o kēlā me kēia lā e hiki ai ke pale iā mākou mai ka meningitis wale nō, akā, mai nā maʻi lele ʻē aʻe he nui.

Hiki i ka meningitis ke laha mai kekahi kanaka a i kekahi kanaka ma o ka ʻū ʻana, ke kunu ʻana, ka honi ʻana, a me ka kaʻana like ʻana i nā mea e like me nā kīʻaha, nā ʻokiʻoki, a me nā pulupulu niho i hoʻohana ʻia e ka mea maʻi .

Inā ua pili kokoke ʻoe me kekahi me ka meningitis, e kāhea koke aku i kāu kauka.Ma muli o ke ʻano o ka meningitis i loaʻa i ka mea maʻi, hiki i ke kauka ke ʻōlelo aku iā ʻoe e lawe pū i nā antibiotics ma ke ʻano he makaʻala. No laila, mai makaʻu, a e ʻimi i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo lapaʻau inā he kānalua kāu.
