Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, Polio na sik we wan vayrɔs kin kam wit . Dɛn kɔl dis vayrɔs `Poliovirus`. Trade, dis bin rili kɔmɔn, mɔ na kɔntri dɛn lɛk Amɛrika. Pipul dɛn bin de fred bad bad wan, bikɔs i kin mek pɔsin paralayz ɛn sɔntɛnde i kin ivin day.

Bɔt afta we dɔktɔ dɛn bigin fɔ gi polio vaysin insay di 1950 dɛm, di nɔmba fɔ pipul dɛm we gɛt dis sik bin go dɔŋ kwik kwik wan. Naw i rili smɔl na kɔntri dɛn lɛk Amɛrika. Bɔt, polio stil na prɔblɛm na sɔm say dɛn na Eshia ɛn Afrika. Wi laki na Sri Lanka, bikɔs i dɔn lɛf smɔl fɔ lɛ polio nɔ de na wi kɔntri. Di men rizin fɔ dat na di saksesful vaksin program. Bɔt, smɔl risk stil de fɔ di wan dɛn we nɔ gɛt di vaysin fayn.

Wetin na di sayn dɛm fɔ dis sik?

Yu no, bɔku tɛm, pan ɔl we dis `Poliovirus` kin kam insay di bɔdi, bɔku pipul dɛn nɔ kin gɛt ɛni sayn fɔ di sik . Dɛn nɔ ivin no se dɛn dɔn gɛt dis vayrɔs.

Bɔt sɔm pipul dɛn kin gɛt sɔm kayn sik wae nɔr kin pasmak, lɛk kol ɔr flu. So dɛn nɔ kin ivin tink se i kin bi polio. Dis na di sayn dɛm wae dɛn kin si:

• Wan ɔpa respiratɔri infɛkshɔn (i kin fil lɛk kol) .
• Trot de at
• Fiva
• Rɔnbɛlɛ
• Vɔmit ɛn nɔs
• Bɛlɛ de at
• Ed de at
• Jɛnɛral wan, di bɔdi kin fil lɛk se i nɔ gɛt layf ɛn i kin fil bad.

Bɔt i nɔ kin izi fɔ mek dis vayrɔs afɛkt di bren ɛn di spɛnal kɔd. If i du dat, i kin mek yu gɛt siriɔs sik dɛn we rili siriɔs. Lɛ wi si wetin dɛn bi:

1. Mɛningaytis

Wetin kin apin pan dis na dat di poliovayrɔs kin infɛkt di prɔtɛktiv mɛmbran dɛm (we dɛn kɔl di mɛninges) we de rawnd wi bren ɛn spɛshal kɔd. Dɔn,

• Mi ed de at bad bad wan.
• Di nɛk kin stif ɛn i nɔ kin izi fɔ tɔn.
• I at fɔ luk di layt, di yay dɛn kin at (sɛnsitiviti to layt).

2. Mɔsul dɛn wik ɔ paralayz

Dis na di pat we denja pas ɔl pan polio. Di vayrɔs kin pwɛl di nerve cells we de kɔntrol wi mɔsul dɛm. We dat apin, .

• Fɔs di mɔsul dɛn kin bigin fɔ at, dɔn dɛn kin wik.
• Afta sɔm tɛm, dɛn mɔsul dɛn de kin stɔp fɔ wok.
• We pɔsin nɔ ebul fɔ yuz in mɔsul dɛn, in bɔdi nɔ gɛt layf ɛn i nɔ kin ivin ebul fɔ muv. Dɛn kɔl dis kɔndishɔn ` Paralysis` .
• Dis kin mek yu layf de pan denja, mɔ if i afɛkt di mɔsul dɛm we de ɛp fɔ blo. Dɔn pɔsin nɔ kin ebul fɔ blo fɔ insɛf.

Yu tink se polio na sik we pɔsin kin pas? Aw i kin pas?

Yɛs, polio na sik we kin rili pas. Dis vayrɔs kin go insay di bɔdi tru di mɔt. Dɔn i kin gro na di trot ɛn di insay. Dɔn i kin pas to ɔda pipul dɛn. Tu men we dεm de fכ transmit: tru spit εn tru poop.

Imajin aw pɔsin go gɛt dis vayrɔs:

• If yu kam nia pɔsin we sik in fes dairekt wan, ɔ if yu tɔch sɔntin we dɔn dɔti wit fes (fɔ ɛgzampul, afta yu dɔn yuz tɔylɛt we yu nɔ was yu an fayn).
• If pɔsin we sik kɔf ɔ sniz nia yu, i nɔ bad.
• If yu it it ɔ drink we gɛt di vayrɔs insay. Dis kin apin if yu it frɔm di sem plet ɔ yuz di sem spun lɛk pɔsin we sik. I kin apin bak if dɛn ad dɔti wata (fɔ ɛgzampul, wata we dɛn miks wit fes) to it ɔ drink.

Di vayrɔs kin liv na pɔsin in trot fɔ 1-2 wik. I kin liv insay fes fɔ 6 wik ɔ pas dat. De tin wae impɔtant pas ɔl na dat ivin pɔrsin wae nɔr gɛt ɛni sayn kin pas di vayrɔs to ɔda pipul dɛm.

Tritmɛnt de fɔ polio?

I sɔri fɔ no se, no mɛrɛsin nɔ de yet fɔ mɛn polio. Ɔl wetin dɛn kin du na fɔ kɔntrol di sayn dɛm.

• Fɔ di wan dɛn we gɛt smɔl smɔl sik dɛn, bɔku tɛm dɛn kin gi dɛn bɔku wata fɔ drink ɛn tɛl dɛn fɔ rɛst na bed.
• If di mɔsul dɛn at ɔ wik, dɛn kin gi am mɛrɛsin fɔ ridyus di pen. Dɛn kin du fizik tɛrapi bak fɔ mek di mɔsul dɛn kɔntinyu fɔ wok.
• if di mכsul dεm we de εp yu fכ brith afekt, yu kin nid di εp fכ ``mεkanikal ventilator.'' Dis mashin de blo εya insay εn kכmכt na di lכng te di pכsin ebul fכ brith in wan.

Aw lɔng dis sik go las? Yu tink se prɔblɛm go de ivin afta we pɔsin dɔn wɛl?

Tipikli, pipul dɛm wae gɛt smɔl smɔl polio simptom kin wɛl ɔlsay insay 1-2 wik.

Bɔt fɔ di wan dɛn we gɛt siriɔs sik, dɛn kin gɛt prɔblɛm wit dɛn mɔsul dɛn fɔ ɔl dɛn layf ɔ dɛn kin paralayz. Sɔm pipul dɛn kin ivin day.

Ivin afta we pɔsin dɔn wɛl, ɔda prɔblɛm kin kam. Dat na, `Post-polio sindrom`. Dis na sɔmtin wae kin apin ivin 30-40 ia afta di ɔrijinal sik. As tɛm de go, dɛn kin bigin fɔ fil pen ɛn wik na dɛn mɔsul ɔ jɔyn dɛn. Dɛn kin fil bak se dɛn taya bad bad wan ɔltɛm.

Yu tink se dɛn kin mek pɔsin nɔ gɛt polio?

Yɛs! Di gud nyus na dat dis na sik we pɔsin kin ebul fɔ avɔyd.

Di bɛst we fɔ protɛkt pikin dɛn frɔm dis na fɔ gi dɛn di Polio vaysin di rayt tɛm. Di vaysin de ɛp wi imyun sistɛm, we de fɛt sik, fɔ mek `antibodi` agens dis vayrɔs. Dɔn, if dis vayrɔs ɛva go insay di bɔdi, dɛn `antibodi` dɛm go fɛt am ɛn protɛkt wi.

Us kayn vaysin dɛn de?

Na tu kayn vaysin dɛn de we dɛn de tɔk bɔt mɔ.

1. Inaktivet Poliovayrɔs Vaysin (IPV) .

• Na kɔntri dɛn lɛk Amɛrika, ɛn bak na Sri Lanka, wi de yuz dis IPV vaysin.
• dis dεn kin gi pikin dεm we dεn rich 2 mכnt, 4 mכnt, 6-18 mכnt, εn 4-6 ia.
• Dis vaysin gɛt wan vayrɔs we nɔ de wok, ɔ we dɛn dɔn kil. So, no chans nɔ de fɔ gɛt polio frɔm dis vaysin.

2. Ɔral Polio Vaksin (OPV) .

• Na sɔm ɔda kɔntri dɛn ɔlsay na di wɔl, dɛn kin gi pikin dɛn dis `OPV` vaysin. Dis na likwid vaysin we dɛn kin gi bay mɔt.
• Dis na vayrɔs we wik bɔt stil de wok.
• Dis vaysin shɔt pas IPV, ɛn i izi fɔ gi bɔku pipul dɛn wan tɛm. Bikɔs i nɔto injɛkshɔn, i nɔ nid fɔ gɛt wɛlbɔdi wokman we tren fɔ gi am.
• Dis vayrɔs we wik kin de na di saliva ɛn fes fɔ pɔsin we dɔn gɛt di OPV vaysin. So, i kin pas to ɔda pipul dɛn, jɔs lɛk di rial vayrɔs. If dat apin, pɔsin we nɔ gɛt di vaysin kin gɛt dis vayrɔs we wik, ɛn dɛn imyun sistɛm kin wok ɛn mek antibodi. Dat min se, ivin if dɛn nɔ gɛt di vaysin dairekt wan, dɛn go gɛt imuniti bak.
• Bɔt, rili, rili smɔl, di OPV vaysin kin mek pɔsin gɛt polio. Di rizin fɔ dis na bikɔs i gɛt wan vayrɔs we wik bɔt stil ebul fɔ liv. Dis kin apin nɔmɔ if dis vayrɔs we wik dɔn de skata na wan kɔmyuniti fɔ lɔng tɛm ɛn i dɔn gɛt di chans fɔ strɔng, dat na fɔ ‘mutate’. Dis na di rizin we mek kɔntri dɛn lɛk Amɛrika nɔ de yuz OPV igen.
• Dɛn kin kɔnt di dos dɛm fɔ `OPV` we dɛn gi bifo Epril 2016 to di Polio vaksin we dɛn nid na Amɛrika. Di wan dɛn we dɛn gi afta dat nɔ kin kɔnt. Na Sri Lanka, wi de yuz di `IPV` vaysin naw.

Wetin bak wi nid fɔ no?

Di Wol Ɛlth Ɔganayzeshɔn de wok tranga wan fɔ pul polio kɔmɔt na di wɔl. I dɔn mek bɔku tin dɛn we dɔn kɔmɔt fayn. Bɔt, polio stil de na sɔm kɔntri dɛn.

Dɔn bak, ivin na kɔntri dɛn usay polio nɔ kin bɔku, if pɔsin we nɔ gɛt di vaysin kam mit pɔsin we dɛn dɔn gi di OPV vaysin, i kin gɛt di sik. Dɔn i kin spre di vayrɔs to ɔda pipul dɛn. Na dat mek i rili impɔtant fɔ gi ɔl di dos dɛn we dɛn kin gi pikin dɛn fɔ tek di polio vaysin.

Bikɔs bɔku pan wi big pipul dɛn na Sri Lanka dɔn gɛt dis vaysin we wi bin smɔl, wi nɔ nid fɔ gɛt ɔda vaysin. Bɔt sɔm big pipul dɛm we de pan risk fɔ gɛt polio kin bi se dɛn fɔ gɛt wan tɛm `bɔsta doz`. Udat dɛn de pan denja?

• Fɔ di wan dɛn we de travul go na eria we gɛt bɔku risk fɔ gɛt polio (e.g., sɔm kɔntri dɛn na Afrika ɛn Eshia).
• Fɔ di wan dɛn we de wok na lɛbɔretri wit poliovayrɔs.
• Fɔ di wan dɛn we de wok na wɛlbɔdi biznɛs wit pipul dɛn we gɛt polio, ɔ wit pipul dɛn we dɔn kam bak frɔm say dɛn we polio de.
• If pɔsin we gɛt polio de na os, ɔ fɔ di wan dɛn we de nia pikin we dɔn gɛt di OPV vaysin, ɔ we de kam fɔ gɛt am.

If yu de travul ausayd Sri Lanka, mɔ na Afrika ɔ Eshia, i rili impɔtant fɔ mek shɔ se yu ɛn yu pikin dɛn dɔn gɛt ɔl di polio vaysin dɛn we dɛn nid.

If yu nɔ shɔ if yu bin gɛt di polio vaysin we yu bin smɔl, ɔ if yu gɛt ɛni ɔda kwɛstyɔn bɔt dis, mek shɔ se yu tɔk to yu dɔktɔ.

So, wetin na di impɔtant tin we wi fɔ mɛmba frɔm dis?

Polio na siriɔs sik we kin mek pɔsin in layf de pan denja. Laki, dɛn kin ebul fɔ avɔyd am kpatakpata tru vaksin.

Mek shɔ se yu pikin gɛt ɔl di polio vaysin dɛn di tɛm we dɛn dɔn sɛtul am. Na di bɛst we fɔ mek dɛn gɛt sef fɔ dɛn tumara bambay.

If yu de plan fɔ travul go ɔda kɔntri, mɔ na kɔntri dɛn usay polio kin gɛt prɔblɛm, go to dɔktɔ bɔt aw yu ɛn yu famili gɛt di vaysin. If yu gɛt ɛni dawt, nɔ shek fɔ aks yu dɔktɔ ɔ midwayf. Fɔ gɛt wɛlbɔdi na di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl!
