Omusujja gw’obwongo oguva ku nsiri: Ka tuyige ku bulwadde bwa Western Equine Encephalitis!

Ng’Abasri Lanka, bwe tulowooza ku ndwadde ezisiigibwa ensiri, obulwadde bwa dengue bujja mangu mu birowoozo byaffe, nedda? Naye okufaananako ne dengue, waliwo n’endwadde endala mu nsi ezisiigibwa ensiri, naye nga ziyinza okuba ez’akabi katono, era nga zikwata ku bwongo. Leero tugenda kwogera ku bulwadde bumu obw’engeri eno. Erinnya lyayo ye Western Equine Encephalitis. Wadde nga kino tekitera kubaawo mu ggwanga lyaffe, kikulu nnyo okubeera n’obwegendereza ku bintu ng’ebyo.

Obulwadde bw’obwongo bw’embalaasi mu maserengeta kye ki?

Mu ngeri ennyangu, bulwadde bwa kawuka obusaasaanyizibwa ensiri okulumwa. Okubeera omutuufu, bulwadde obubeera mu kibinja ekiyitibwa "arboviral." Kwe kugamba, bulwadde bwa kawuka obusaasaanyizibwa ebiwuka ebiyitibwa arthropods nga ensiri n’enseenene. Akawuka akabuleeta kafaananako nnyo n’ebika ebirala bibiri eby’obulabe eby’omusujja gw’obwongo, Eastern Equine Encephalitis ne Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis viruses.

Obulwadde buno busobola okukwata abantu n'embalaasi . Obulwadde buno busiigibwa ensiri eriko obulwadde buno. Ebika by’ensiri ebikulu ebivunaanyizibwa ku kino ye (Culex tarsalis). Wabula ebika by’ensiri (Aedes) ne (Culiseta), ebimanyiddwa okusaasaanya dengue, nabyo bisobola okutambuza akawuka kano.

Enzirukanya y’obutonde bw’akawuka kano eri wakati w’ebinyonyi n’ensiri. Kwe kugamba, ensiri eluma ekinyonyi ekirimu akawuka, oluvannyuma ne kiluma ekinyonyi ekiramu ne kisaasaanya obulwadde. Abantu n’embalaasi biba bikyaza bya butanwa byokka mu nsengekera eno. Kwe kugamba, obulwadde tetubufuna butereevu ku kinyonyi. Wabula si bulijjo nnyo, obulwadde buno busobola okusiigibwa okuva ku maama ali olubuto okutuuka ku mwana we nga buyita mu nnabaana. Buno si bulwadde bwa kussa.

Ani ali mu bulabe obusingako?

• Bw’oba ​​obeera mu kitundu obulwadde buno we businga (naddala mu masaza g’amaserengeta n’amasekkati ga Amerika).
• Bw’oba ​​ogenda mu kitundu ng’ekyo.
• Bw’oba ​​omala ebiseera bingi ng’oli bweru.

Bubonero ki obulaga obulwadde buno?

Obubonero butera okutandika okulabika wakati w’ennaku 5 ne 15 oluvannyuma lw’okulumwa ensiri erimu akawuka. Obubonero mu kusooka bufaananako n’obw’omusujja gw’ensiri.

Ebiseera ebisinga, obubonero buno obutera okulabika buyinza okuba obutono era obulwadde buno busobola okuwona. Kyokka, oluusi embeera eyo eyinza okuba ey’amaanyi ennyo. Teebereza, kiki ekyandibaddewo singa akawuka kano kasaasaana mangu mu musaayi gwaffe, ne kasala ekiziyiza eky’obutonde ekikuuma obwongo (blood-brain barrier) ne kayingira mu bwongo bwennyini?

Awo obulwadde we bufuuka obw’akabi. Akawuka kano bwe kayingira mu bwongo, kayinza okuleeta embeera eziyitibwa encephalitis , nga zino zizimba ebitundu by’obwongo, ne meningitis, nga zino zizimba obuwuka obubikka obwongo .

Enkola y’obusimu bw’ekosebwa mu ngeri eno, obubonero buno buyinza okulabika:

• Okuziyira
• Obutasobola kutunuulira kitangaala ekitangalijja (photophobia) .
• Obulwadde bw’okubulwa amagezi n’enneeyisa etaataaganya
• Otulo otuyitiridde
• Okubulwa ddala okutegeera (coma) .
• Okukaluba kw’ebinywa n’okusannyalala ) .
• Okukonziba
• Ebikosa okumala ebbanga eddene nga obulemu mu kuyiga

Abaana abato n'abakadde be basinga okubeera mu bulabe bw'ebizibu bino eby'obusimu . Omuwendo gw’abafa olw’obulwadde buno guli wakati wa 3% ne 7%. Okugatta ku ekyo, wakati wa 15% ne 30% ku abo abawona obulwadde buno bayinza okulwala obusimu obw’ekiseera ekiwanvu.

Obulwadde buno buzuulibwa butya era ne bujjanjabwa butya?

Bw’oba ​​ogenze mu kitundu obulwadde buno we businga era n’ofuna obubonero obwo waggulu, laba omusawo mu bwangu . Obubonero bw’obulwadde buno bufaananako n’ebika ebirala eby’obulwadde bw’okuzimba omutwe (viral meningitis), n’olwekyo okuzuula obulwadde buno kuyinza okusoomoozebwa okutono.

Singa omusawo ateebereza nti obusimu bwo bukoseddwa, oyinza okuweebwa ekitanda mu ddwaaliro n’okukeberebwa emirundi egiwerako.

• Okuboola omugongo: Okukebera amazzi agali mu bwongo n’omugongo (CSF).
• Okukebera CT (CT scan) kwe kukebera.
• Okukebera MRI kwe kukebera.
• Okukebera obutoffaali obuziyiza endwadde: Wadde nga bino bisobola okukakasa obulwadde buno n’obukakafu, ebivaamu bisobola okutwala wiiki eziwera okuddamu.

Tewali ddagala lyonna eritta akawuka ka bulwadde buno n’okutuusa kati. N’olwekyo, obujjanjabi buwagira . Kwe kugamba, abasawo bawa eddagala okufuga obubonero ng’omusujja n’obulumi. Singa obusimu bukosebwa nnyo, kiyinza okwetaagisa okujjanjabibwa mu kifo awajjanjabirwa abalwadde abayi (ICU). Kuno kw’ogatta okuyingiza empewo mu byuma, okufuga okukonziba, okukuuma amazzi mu mubiri, n’okufuga embeera ez’obulabe ennyo nga puleesa okweyongera mu mutwe.

Oyinza otya okwekuuma obulwadde buno?

Waliwo eddagala eddungi erigema embalaasi obutakwatibwa bulwadde buno. Wadde ng’eddagala erigema abantu likoleddwa, terisangibwa nnyo kukozesebwa mu bujjanjabi. Kikozesebwa mu bantu bokka abali mu bulabe obw’amaanyi, gamba ng’abakozi mu laboratory.

Kale, ekisinga obulungi kye tuyinza okukola kwe kwekuuma ensiri nga bwe kisoboka . Amagezi gano makulu kyenkanyi gye tuli okwekuuma obulwadde bwa dengue.
