He aha te mate kiriuhi?

I te whakarapopototanga, ko te meningitis he mumura o ngā kiriuhi tiaki e karapoti ana i tō tātou roro me te taurakira. Ahakoa he maha ngā take mō tēnei, ko te mea e tino āwangawanga ai tātou ko te meningitis, e puta mai ana i tētahi momo huakita. Ko te huakita e puta ai tēnei ko te "Meningococcus". Kua rongo pea koe kua horapa tēnei mate i ētahi wā i ngā whare wānanga o tāwāhi, ā, kua mate ngā tamariki. Ko ēnei huakita meningococcus te take o aua mate urutā.

Ehara i te mea ko te meningitis anake te take o tēnei huakita. I ētahi wā ka uru tika atu ki roto i te toto, ka horapa puta noa i te tinana, ka kino hoki ngā whekau. Ka kiia tēnei mate ko te "meningococcemia." Ka taea e ētahi tāngata te pāngia e ēnei mate e rua i te wā kotahi.

He aha tēnei he mōrearea mō ngā tamariki ki te haere ki te kāmpus?

E ai ki ngā tākuta, ko tēnei mate te mea tino kitea i waenga i ngā taiohi i waenga i te 15 me te 21 tau te pakeke. Ahakoa kāore anō kia kitea te tino take, kotahi te mea e mārama ana. Arā, ka horapa tēnei mate i ngā wāhi e huihui ana te tini o te tangata, e kiki ana hoki. Whakaarohia, kāore ianei he wāhi pēnei te whare noho i te kāmpus? Ina noho ētahi tāngata i roto i te rūma kotahi, e noho ana ngā rau o ngā tamariki i roto i te whare kotahi, he aha te nui ake o te tūponotanga ka horapa te iroriki mai i tētahi tangata ki tētahi atu?

Ka taea te rongoā i tēnei mate ki ngā paturopi. Engari ko te raruraru, he mea whakamiharo te tere o te horapa o tēnei mate. Koia te take he tokomaha te hunga kāore e whiwhi rongoā i te wā tika. Ahakoa te rongoā, neke atu i te kotahi i roto i te tekau o te hunga e pāngia ana e tēnei mate ka mate. Ahakoa ka ora tonu rātou, he tokomaha te hunga e noho ana me te kino o te roro, te tapahi i ngā waewae, me ētahi atu hauātanga tuturu.

Ko tētahi tauira matua o te kaha o tēnei mate ko Francesca Testa, he wahine i pāngia e te mate i te 17 o ōna tau, ā, tata tonu te mate. "He tino waimarie ahau," tana kī, engari kua roa te wā i mua i te tino ora. Me noho tonu ia me ngā pānga taha, pērā i te ngoikore o te tirohanga me te whakarongo, me te mamae o te upoko.

I whiwhi te tamaiti i ngā werohanga e tika ana?

Ko te huarahi pai hei tiaki i tēnei mate meningitis huakita kino ko te werohanga. Engari ko te mea kāore e mōhiotia ana e te nuinga o ngā mātua, e rua ngā momo werohanga mō tēnei.

1. Kano Ārai Hononga

Koinei te kano ārai mate e mōhiotia whānuitia ana e tātou, ā, kua roa nei tātou e whakamahi ana. Kei roto hoki i te rārangi werohanga mō ngā tamariki. Kei raro i ngā ingoa waitohu "Menactra, Menveo rānei". Ko te horopeta tuatahi ka hoatu i te 11-12 tau te pakeke, ā, ka hoatu he horopeta whakanui i te 16 tau te pakeke. Ka whakaratohia e tēnei kano ārai mate he parenga ki ngā momo huakita meningococcal e whā.

2. Kano ārai mate momo B (MenB)

He kano ārai mate tēnei kāore i te mōhiotia e te tini tāngata, engari he mea tino nui anō hoki. I whakaurua mai i te tau 2014. Ka ārai i te "Serotype B" , he momo huakita tino kino kāore i hipokina e te kano ārai mate o mua. Kei te wātea i raro i ngā ingoa waitohu Bexsero, Trumenba rānei. E taunakihia ana mō ngā taiohi i waenga i te 16 me te 23 tau te pakeke. He tino taunakihia kia whiwhi i waenga i te 16-18 tau te pakeke.

Ko tēnei momo mate, e kiia nei ko te 'Serotype B', te take o ngā pakarutanga meningitis tino kino kua puta i ngā whare wānanga i ngā tau tata nei.

He aha ngā tohu o tēnei mate kino?

He tino rite ngā tohu tōmua o te meningitis ki ērā o te makariri noa, o te rewharewha rānei, nō reira he uaua ki te wehewehe. Heoi, he mea nui kia mōhio ki ēnei tohu i te mea ka kino haere i roto i ētahi haora.

Whakaarohia kei te amuamu tāu tamaiti mō te kore e pai te āhua i a ia e noho ana i te whare noho. Mena kei te mōhio koe ki ēnei tohu i taua wā, ka taea e koe te whakatau mena he makariri noa iho, he mate kino ake rānei.

Ko ngā meneti, ehara i te hāora, te mea nui rawa atu i roto i te rongoā mō te meningitis. Nō reira, ki te whakaaro koe kei tāu tamaiti tētahi o ēnei tohu, ki te mōhio rānei koe kei te pāngia tētahi hoa, tētahi hoa noho rānei e te mate, tohutohu atu ki tāu tamaiti kia haere tonu ki te Tari Ohotata (ETU) o te hōhipera tata .

Te hiranga o te oranga hauora

Ko te huarahi pai hei tiaki i a koe mai i tetahi mate, ehara i te meningitis anake, ko te pupuri i te oranga hauora. Whakaakona hoki tāu tamaiti ki ēnei mea.

• Horoia pai ō ringaringa ki te hopi i ngā wā katoa.
• Kaua e tohaina ngā karāhe inu, ngā kapu, ngā taputapu kai, me ērā atu mea ki ētahi atu tāngata. He mea nui rawa tēnei ina noho ana koe i ngā whare noho.
• Moe pai, kia kaha te tinana, ā, kai i ngā kai whai kiko.
• Āta karohia te kai hikareti. He ngoikore te pūnaha ārai mate o te hunga kai hikareti, ā, he nui ake te tūponotanga ka pāngia rātou e ngā mate.

Ki te rongo koe mō te pakarutanga o te mate meningitis i te kāreti o tāu tamaiti, kaua e mataku. Me kī atu ki tāu tamaiti kia whai i ngā tohutohu a ngā mana whakahaere o te whare wānanga. I te nuinga o te wā, i ēnei wā, ka werohia ngā ākonga kāore anō kia werohia, ā, ko te hunga kua tata ki te tangata mate ka hoatu he paturopi hei ārai.
