Kodi mukudziwa za "superfungi" zomwe sizimakhudzidwa ndi mankhwala?

Timakumbukira momwe tonse tinkachitira mantha panthawi ya mliri wa COVID-19. Panthawiyo, tinkaganiza kuti mdani wathu yekha ndiye kachilomboka. Koma mosadziwa, mdani wina wosalankhula wakhala akudzuka m'zipatala, makamaka m'zipinda zosamalira odwala kwambiri. Mdani uyu si kachilomboka, ndi bowa. Koma si bowa wamba, amatchedwa 'superfungus'. Lero tikulankhula za izi zoopsa, koma sitinamve zambiri za chiwopsezo cha thanzi ichi.

Kodi 'superfungus' imeneyi ndi chiyani kwenikweni?

Mwachidule, uwu ndi mtundu woopsa kwambiri wa bowa womwe sungathe kupirira mankhwala ambiri opha mabakiteriya omwe alipo pano. Mwa awa, bowa lalikulu lomwe lakopa chidwi cha dziko lonse lapansi ndi Candida auris , kapena C. auris mwachidule.

Tangoganizirani, mu 2020, chipatala ku Florida, USA, chinakhazikitsa chipinda china cha odwala a COVID-19 ndipo chinasamalira ukhondo wokwanira, koma matenda a odwalawo anaipiraipira. Madokotala ankaganiza kuti izi zinachitika chifukwa cha COVID-19 yokha. Koma pambuyo poyezetsa magazi, nkhani yeniyeni inamveka. Matupi a odwalawo analinso ndi bowa wotchedwa Candida auris. Mkati mwa milungu iwiri, odwala 35 anadwala bowa uwu, ndipo mkati mwa mwezi umodzi, 8 mwa iwo anamwalira.

Izi sizili ngati matenda a yisiti omwe timakumana nawo nthawi zambiri, omwe amachiritsidwa mosavuta. Mwachitsanzo, matenda omwe amayamba chifukwa cha bowa la Candida albicans amatha kuchiritsidwa ndi mankhwala okhazikika. Komabe, C. auris ndi bowa wosiyana kwambiri, wosamva mankhwala, komanso woopsa womwe ungayambitse matenda oopsa .

Ndipotu, bowa uwu, wotchedwa C. auris, unapezeka koyamba kuchipatala ku Tokyo, Japan, mu 2009. Mtundu watsopano wa bowa uwu unapezeka pamene chitsanzo chinatengedwa kuchokera m'khutu la mayi wachikulire yemwe anachiritsidwa matenda omwe ankaganiziridwa kuti ndi matenda a m'khutu. Kuyambira pamenepo, bowa uwu wayamba kufalikira pang'onopang'ono padziko lonse lapansi.

N’chifukwa chiyani bowa uwu ndi wovuta kuuletsa?

Kulamulira bowa uyu, C. auris, kwakhala vuto lalikulu kwa madokotala ndi ogwira ntchito kuchipatala pazifukwa zingapo:

• Kutha kukhala ndi moyo pamalo: Bowa uwu ukhoza kukhala ndi moyo pamalo aliwonse, kuphatikizapo mabedi achipatala, zitseko za zitseko, mafoni, ndi zida zachipatala, kwa milungu ingapo.
• Kukana mankhwala ophera tizilombo: Mankhwala ena ophera tizilombo omwe timagwiritsa ntchito nthawi zambiri sangaphe bowa uyu kotheratu.
• Kuvuta kuzindikira: Mayeso achikhalidwe a labotale nthawi zina amalakwitsa kuzindikira bowa uyu, kapena amalephera kumuzindikira konse.
• Kusintha kwa mawonekedwe:Bowa uwu ukhoza kukhalapo m'njira zosiyanasiyana, kotero nthawi zina zimakhala zovuta kumvetsetsa mtundu wa chamoyo chomwe chili panthawi yoyesedwa.

Pazifukwa izi, ngati wodwala m'modzi m'chipatala atenga kachilomboka, zimakhala zovuta kwambiri kupewa kufalikira kwa matendawa kwa odwala ena. Akatswiri ena amati zili ngati "kumenya nkhondo yosagonjetseka."

Kodi pali kugwirizana pakati pa kusintha kwa nyengo ndi bowa uyu?

Ichi ndi chowonadi chodabwitsa kwambiri. Asayansi ambiri amakhulupirira kuti kusintha kwa nyengo kwakhudza mwachindunji kufalikira ndi kufalikira kwa tizilombo toyambitsa matenda monga C. auris.

Taganizirani izi, bowa nthawi zambiri amakhala otentha kuposa kutentha kwa thupi lathu (37 Celsius). Choncho sangakhale mosavuta m'thupi lathu. Koma pamene dziko likutentha pang'onopang'ono, bowa ena m'chilengedwe akusintha kuti athe kupirira kutentha kwakukuluko. Ndiye sizidzakhala zovuta kuti athe kupirira kutentha kwa thupi lathu.

Asayansi amakhulupirira kuti C. auris ikhozanso kukhala bowa lomwe lasintha mwanjira imeneyi.

Kusintha kwa nyengo sikuti kumangoyambitsa bowa watsopano, koma bowa wakale, womwe umapezeka m'madera ena, nawonso akusamukira kumadera atsopano.

Ndani amene ali pachiwopsezo chachikulu?

Matenda a bowa awa sangayambitse vuto lalikulu kwa munthu wathanzi, koma akhoza kukhala oopsa kwambiri kwa iwo omwe ali ndi chitetezo chamthupi chofooka .

• Odwala omwe ali m'zipinda zosamalira odwala kwambiri
• Anthu okalamba
• Makanda obadwa kumene
• Anthu omwe ali ndi matenda osatha monga matenda a shuga
• Odwala khansa
• Anthu omwe adapatsidwa ziwalo zina
• Odwala omwe ali ndi zipangizo monga ma catheter omangiriridwa m'thupi kwa nthawi yayitali

Anthu awa ali pachiwopsezo chachikulu.

Kodi palibe mankhwala atsopano a izi?

Vuto lalikulu kwambiri ndi ili. Pali mankhwala ochepa ophera bowa omwe alipo. Bowa wamphamvu kwambiri awa sagonjetsedwa ndi zomwe ali nazo. Kupanga mankhwala atsopano ndi njira yovuta kwambiri, yokwera mtengo, komanso yotenga nthawi.

Ngakhale makampani opanga mankhwala sapereka chisamaliro kwa bowa awa monga momwe amachitira pofufuza machiritso a matenda monga khansa kapena Alzheimer's. Katswiri wina akufotokoza mfundo iyi motere:

"Zili ngati kusamalira zinyalala m'nyumba mwathu. Kuzisamalira n'kofunika kwambiri. Koma palibe amene akufuna kuchita zimenezo. Mofananamo, palibe amene akufuna kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama kukonzekera tsoka lisanachitike."

Chifukwa chake, zitenga nthawi kuti mankhwala atsopano ayambe kugulitsidwa. Mpaka nthawi imeneyo, chinthu chabwino kwambiri chomwe tingachite ndikuzindikira izi ndikuchita zonse zomwe tingathe kuti tipewe kufalikira kwa matenda. Ndikofunikira kwambiri kusamala kwambiri za ukhondo m'chipatala.
