Umkhuhlane ongaqhelekanga obangelwa yingcongconi? Masithethe ngeNtsholongwane yaseWest Nile!

Unjani? Kule mihla, siva ngezifo ezahlukeneyo, akunjalo? Ezinye zazo ziyoyikisa kancinci. Kaloku, namhlanje siza kuthetha ngesifo esingaqhelekanga esisasazeka ziingcongconi. Esi sibizwa ngokuba yiWest Nile Virus, okanye "West Nile Virus". Xa usiva eli gama, unokucinga ukuba yinto enkulu, kodwa ukuba unolwazi olufanelekileyo ngaso, akunzima kangako kuthi ukuba sihlale sikhuselekile kuso. Ngoko ke, makhe sijonge ezinye iinkcukacha?

Yintoni iWest Nile Virus?

Ngamafutshane, iWest Nile Virus yintsholongwane enokudluliselwa ebantwini xa ingcongconi enesifo ibaluma. Eyona ndlela ilungileyo yokuzikhusela koku kukuphepha ukulunywa ziingcongconi. Njengedengue, iingcongconi zezona zibangela ingxaki apha. Kodwa le ayisiyo intsholongwane yedengue, le yintsholongwane eyahlukileyo.

Zithini iimpawu xa le ntsholongwane ingena emzimbeni?

Eyona nto ilungileyo kukuba, uninzi lwexesha, i-West Nile Virus iyanyamalala ngaphandle kweempawu nokuba sele uyifumene. Oko kuthetha ukuba usenokungazi nokuba unayo i-virus. Ziindaba ezimnandi ezo, akunjalo?

Nangona kunjalo, ngamanye amaxesha iimpawu zinokubakho. Ukuba ziyenzeka, azisoloko zimbi kakhulu. Ezi ziquka:

• Umkhuhlane uyakhula.
• Intloko yam ibuhlungu.
• Iintlungu zomzimba ziyavela. Njengaxa ungenwa ngumkhuhlane.
• Intlungu yamalungu inokubakho.
• Abanye abantu basenokuba nokuhlanza okanye urhudo .
• Ngamanye amaxesha, kunokubakho izilonda ezincinci kulusu, njenge-eczema .

Ezi mpawu zihlala zivakala ngathi ngumkhuhlane oqhelekileyo wentsholongwane, ngoko ke ungakhathazeki.

Nangona kunjalo, akunakuba nzima kangako!

Ewe, kulapho kufuneka silumke khona kancinci. Amaxesha amaninzi, oko kukuthi, kubantu abambalwa kakhulu, le ntsholongwane inokuchaphazela inkqubo yemithambo-luvo kwaye ibangele izifo ezinzulu. Umzekelo, iimeko ezinje ngokudumba kwengqondo (encephalitis) okanye ukudumba kwee-membranes ezigubungela ingqondo kunye nomqolo (meningitis) zinokwenzeka. Ukuba oku kuyenzeka, iimpawu ezinje:

• Umkhuhlane ophezulu.
• Intloko ebuhlungu enganyamezelekiyo.
• Intamo eqinileyo, kunzima ukuyigoba.
• Ukudideka okanye ukulahlekelwa yinkumbulo (namagama athethwayo asenokungacaci kakuhle).
• Kusenokubakho ukuxhuzula .
• Ukukhubazeka (ukulahlekelwa yinxalenye yelungu).
• I-Coma (ukulahlekelwa ngokupheleleyo zingqondo).

Ezi mpawu zinzima zingasongela ubomi,Ingakumbi kubantu abadala kunye nabo sele benesifo esithile. Ngoko ke, ukuba ufumana naziphi na iimpawu ezingaqhelekanga ezifana nale kunye nomkhuhlane, kubaluleke kakhulu ukufuna ingcebiso kagqirha ngokukhawuleza.

Abantu bayifumana njani intsholongwane yeWest Nile?

Oku kunokuvakala ngathi yintsomi enzima, kodwa kulula. Intsholongwane yeWest Nile idla ngokufumaneka kwiintaka. Xa iingcongconi zifunxa igazi kwiintaka ezinentsholongwane, intsholongwane ingena emzimbeni wengcongconi. Emva koko, xa loo ngcongconi inentsholongwane iluma umntu okanye esinye isilwanyana, intsholongwane idlulela kuye. Yindlela esasazeka ngayo.

Kumazwe afana neMelika, kukho malunga neentlobo ezili-175 zeengcongconi, kodwa lunye kuphela uhlobo olunokusasaza le ntsholongwane. Asazi kakuhle imeko yaseSri Lanka, kodwa kusoloko kulungile ukulumkela iingcongconi.

Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuba esi sifo asisasazeki ukusuka komnye umntu ukuya komnye. Oko kuthetha ukuba awunakusifumana ngokuchukumisa umntu onentsholongwane yeWest Nile, ukuthetha naye, okanye ukuchukumisa izinto azisebenzisileyo. Njengedengue, sinokusasazwa kuphela ziingcongconi.

Ifunyanwa njani intsholongwane yeWest Nile?

Ukuba uneempawu zentsholongwane yeWest Nile, ugqirha uya kuqwalasela ezi zinto zilandelayo:

• Ngaba uhlala kwindawo apho kusenokwenzeka ukuba kubekho iingcongconi ezithwala le ntsholongwane, okanye ngaba ukhe watyelela loo ndawo kutshanje ?
• Eli xesha lonyaka nalo liyayichaphazela le nto, njengoko iingcongconi zisebenza kakhulu xa kushushu.

Ukongeza, ugqirha angathumela isampuli yegazi lakho kwilabhoratri ukuze ahlole olu sulelo.

Ngamanye amaxesha, ukuba umntu ubonakalisa iimpawu ezinzima, ezinje nge-"encephalitis" okanye "meningitis", angenza "i-lumbar puncture / spinal tap" . Oku kuquka ukuthatha ulwelo olujikeleze ingqondo kunye nomqolo kwaye uluhlolisise. Nangona igama lalo liloyikekayo, olu luvavanyo olubaluleke kakhulu ekuxilongeni isifo.

Iphathwa njani le nto?

Uninzi lwezifo zentsholongwane zaseWest Nile ziyaphela ngokwazo ngaphandle konyango olukhethekileyo. Kwiintlungu ezincinci, ungathatha iparacetamol okanye ibuprofen. Kubalulekile nokusela amanzi amaninzi ukuze uthintele ukuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni.

Nangona kunjalo, ukuba umntu ubonakalisa iimpawu eziqatha, kuya kufuneka alaliswe esibhedlele aze anyangwe. Uza kunikwa ulwelo lwe-IV, izixhobo zokuphefumla, kunye nolunye unyango olufunekayo. Khumbula, akukho nyango luthile lwe-encephalitis yentsholongwane ye-West Nile okanye i-meningitis. Ekubeni esi sisifo sentsholongwane, ii-antibiotics aziyi kunceda. Ii-antibiotics zisebenza kuphela ngokuchasene nosulelo lweentsholongwane. Kwakhona, akukho gonyo lale ntsholongwane okwangoku.

Ngaba ukosuleleka yintsholongwane yeWest Nile kungathintelwa?

Ewe! Ngokuqinisekileyo ungakwenza oko. Eyona ndlela ilungileyo yokuzikhusela wena nosapho lwakho kwintsholongwane yeWest Nile kukuphepha ukulunywa ziingcongconi. Le yinto sonke ekufuneka siyiqwalasele. Nazi ezinye zezinto onokuzenza:

• Sebenzisa izikrini kwiifestile nakwiingcango zakho. Ukuba kukho izikrini ezaphukileyo okanye ezonakeleyo, zilungise ngoko nangoko. Gcina iingcango neefestile ezingenazikrini zivaliwe, ingakumbi ngokuhlwa.
• Xa uphuma phandle, nxiba impahla egquma umzimba wakho kangangoko unako. Kungcono ukunxiba iihempe ezinemikhono emide, iibhulukhwe ezinde, izihlangu kunye neekawusi.
• Sebenzisa isixovuli sezinambuzane ngokwemiyalelo. Khetha esiqulethe isithako esivunyiweyo yi-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), njenge-DEET okanye i-picaridin. Kubantwana abaneminyaka engaphezu kwemi-3 ubudala, ungasebenzisa nesinye esiqulethe ioyile ye-lemon eucalyptus. Xa usebenzisa ezi zinto, landela imiyalelo ebhotileni ngokuchanekileyo.
• Zama ukuphepha ukuba phandle kangangoko unako kusasa nasemva kwemini, xa ilanga sele liza kuphuma lize litshone. Eli lixesha apho iingcongconi zisebenza kakhulu.
• Susa iindawo apho iingcongconi zibeka amaqanda azo! Iingcongconi zibeka amaqanda azo kwiindawo apho amanzi aqokelelana khona. Ngoko ke, susa iindawo apho amanzi aqokelelana khona kwizinto ezifana neebhakethi, iimbiza zenkunkuma, kunye namatayara amadala. Khupha amanzi kwiindawo zokuhlambela iintaka, izitya zezinja, kunye neembiza zeentyatyambo ubuncinane kanye ngeveki, zihlambe kakuhle, kwaye uzicoce. Oku kubaluleke kakhulu ekuthinteleni i-dengue.

Khumbula, ukuphepha iingcongconi lelona nyathelo libalulekileyo lokuzikhusela kule ntsholongwane, kanye njengokuba nathi sisenza ukuze sizikhusele kwi-dengue.

Yintoni enye endifanele ndiyazi?

Kwamanye amazwe, uluntu lusebenzisana ukunceda amagosa ezempilo ukuba achonge iindlela zokudluliselwa kwentsholongwane eNtshona yeNile. Ukuba ubona intaka efileyo kwindawo okuyo, musa ukuyichukumisa ngezandla zakho. Endaweni yoko, nxibelelana noMhloli wezeMpilo yoLuntu (PHI) okanye iofisi yeGosa lezeMpilo lezeMpilo (MOH) ukuze ufumane ingcebiso malunga nento omawuyenze. Ukuba kukho iingxelo ezininzi zeentaka ezifileyo kwindawo enye, amagosa ezempilo anokuvavanya iintaka ukuze abone ukuba zosulelekile na yile ntsholongwane. Ukuba olo sulelo luqinisekisiwe, banokuthatha amanyathelo okulawula iingcongconi kwindawo leyo, njengokutshiza izibulali-zinambuzane.

Umyalezo Wokuya Ekhaya

Kulungile, masiphinde sichaze ezinye zezona ngongoma zibalulekileyo koko sithethe ngako.

• I-West Nile Virus yintsholongwane edluliselwa ziingcongconi.
• Uninzi lwabantu alubonakalisi zimpawu, okanye ukuba ziyabonakala, zihlala zingabonakali.
• Nangona kunjalo, akunakuba nzima kakhulu,Ingakumbi ukuba inkqubo yemithambo-luvo ichaphazelekile. Ukuba ufumana iimpawu ezinje ngomkhuhlane ophezulu, intloko ebuhlungu kakhulu, intamo eqinileyo, okanye ukudideka, funa ingcebiso kagqirha ngokukhawuleza.
• Okwangoku akukho nyango okanye isitofu esithile sokugonya oku. Unyango lusekelwe kwiimpawu.
• Ukuthintela yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokuzikhusela kwiingcongconi. Kubalulekile ukusebenzisa inethi zeengcongconi, ukunxiba impahla egquma umzimba wakho, ukusebenzisa izinto zokugxotha iingcongconi, kunye nokutshabalalisa iindawo zokuzalela iingcongconi.

Ngoko ke, musani ukoyika ngokungeyomfuneko xa nisiva ngale ntsholongwane yaseWest Nile. Nangona kunjalo, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba niyazi kwaye nithathe amanyathelo afunekayo ukuze nizikhusele kwiingcongconi. Emva koko singaziphepha ezi zifo size sihlale sisempilweni. Ukuba uneminye imibuzo, musani ukuthandabuza ukubuza ugqirha.
