Lesi silwanyana singaba imbangela yobuhlungu besisu sakho: Konke mayelana neGiardiasis

Ingabe uvame ukuba nesisu esibuhlungu, umuzwa wokugcwala, noma ukuqunjelwa okukhulu? Ngezinye izikhathi, noma ngabe sicabanga ukuthi kuyinto esiyidlayo noma esiyiphuzayo, empeleni kungaba yi-parasite encane esingakwazi ukuyibona. Namuhla, sikhuluma ngesimo esibizwa ngokuthi 'i-gaiadiasis', esibangela ukuqunjelwa esiswini futhi esivame kakhulu eSri Lanka.

Kalula nje, iyini i-Giardiasis?

Empeleni lokhu kuyisifo esitholakala emathunjini ethu. Imbangela yalokhu igciwane elincane elibizwa ngokuthi i-'Giardia' , elingabonakali ngeso lenyama. Leli gciwane lihlala noma kuphi emhlabeni, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni lapho kunamanzi angcolile (njengamachibi, imifula, imithombo). Kodwa-ke, uma siligwinya, okungukuthi, uma siliphuza singazi, leli gciwane liya ngqo emathunjini ethu amancane. Lapho, liqala ukwanda, futhi lidla nokudla okufanayo esikudlayo.

Yingakho sibhekana nezinto ezifana nokuqunjelwa okunuka kabi, ukuqunjelwa, igesi, ubuhlungu besisu, isicanucanu, nokuzizwa ukhathele. Lezi zimpawu zingaba mnene kwabanye abantu futhi zibe nzima kwabanye. Into emangazayo ukuthi abanye abantu bangaba nalesi sifo ngaphandle kwezimpawu. Ngokuvamile siphela ngokwaso emavikini ambalwa, kodwa kungaba nzima kancane kumuntu onesimiso somzimba esibuthakathaka ukusiqeda. Kodwa ungakhathazeki, odokotela bangayilapha uma kudingeka.

Sivame kangakanani lesi simo?

Lesi yisimo esivame kakhulu emhlabeni wonke. Eqinisweni, ezweni elifana neMelika, sithinta abantu abangaphezu kwesigidi minyaka yonke. Kuthiwa sithinta cishe u-10% wabantu emazweni athuthukile. Kodwa-ke, emazweni asathuthuka njengelethu, lesi simo sibi kakhulu. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi sithinta cishe ingxenye yesithathu yabantu.

Isizathu esiyinhloko salokhu ukuntuleka kwendle yomphakathi, ikakhulukazi imithombo yamanzi angcolile kanye nemithombo yamanzi yomphakathi engahlanzwa kahle. Izingane zinamathuba amaningi okuthola lesi sifo kunabantu abadala, ikakhulukazi izingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-4. Ezweni lakithi, kungenzeka futhi ukuthi sisabalale ezindaweni ezifana nezikhungo zokunakekela izingane lapho kukhona khona izingane ezincane.

Ziyini izimpawu zalokhu?

Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, into emangazayo kakhulu ukuthi cishe ingxenye yabantu abathola lokhu kutheleleka ababonisi zimpawu. Kodwa kulabo abakutholayo, lezi yizinto ezingenzeka. Ake sibheke leli thebula ukuze sikuqonde kahle lokhu.

Iningi labantu linalezi zimpawu isikhathi esifushane. Kodwa kwabanye, zingaba zingapheli noma ziphinde zivele. Ukuqunjelwa njalo kanye nesicanucanu kungaholela ekuphelelweni amanzi emzimbeni kanye nokwehla kwesisindo . Ngezinye izikhathi, kungaholela nasekungabekezelelani i-lactose.

Lokhu kungena kanjani emizimbeni yethu? Kudluliselwa kanjani?

Cabanga ukuthi lesi silwanyana 'seGiardia' siseqokobheni elivikelayo njengeqanda. Lesi sigaba sibizwa ngokuthi 'i-cyst'. Lesi 'cyst' singasinda endaweni ezungezile, ikakhulukazi emanzini, enhlabathini, noma ezindaweni ezingcolile, isikhathi eside. Yilapho sigwinya lesi 'cyst' ngokungazi lapho lesi sifo siqala khona.

Lawa 'ma-cyst' atholakala endle yezilwane nabantu. Akhishwa endaweni ezungezile kanye nezingcezu ezincane zendle ezincane kakhulu ukuba zingabonwa ngamehlo enyama. Lawa angangena emizimbeni yethu uma siya endlini yangasese ngaphandle kokugeza izandla zethu kahle, noma uma siphuza amanzi angcolile.

Nazi ezinye zezindlela eziyinhloko lesi sifo esingadluliselwa ngazo:

• Ngokuphuza amanzi angcolile, angahlungiwe noma ukugeza ezindaweni ezinamanzi anjalo (imithombo, izimpophoma, amachibi).
• Uma uhamba phesheya, ikakhulukazi emazweni angenazo inhlanzeko efanelekile.
• Uma uxhumana nezinsana ezincane, ikakhulukazi izinsana ezigqoke amanabukeni (ezindaweni ezifana nezikhungo zokunakekela izingane).
• Ngokuphuza ukudla noma amanzi angcolile.
• Uma uthinta indawo (njengesivalo somnyango, itafula) ethinte umuntu onegciwane bese udla ukudla ngaphandle kokugeza izandla zakho.
• Ukulala nomuntu onegciwane ngendlela engavikelekile (ikakhulukazi indunu).

Kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuthi izimpawu zivele? Zihlala isikhathi esingakanani?

Izimpawu zivame ukuqala ukuvela zingakapheli isonto elilodwa kuya kwamabili ngemva kokungenwa yilesi sinambuzane. Yilapho isinambuzane sesimile khona futhi amasosha ethu omzimba eseqalile ukuqaphela nokulwa naso. Izimpawu zivame ukuhlala kusukela emavikini amabili kuya kwayisithupha . Kodwa-ke, kwabanye abantu, zingahlala isikhathi eside.

Yiziphi izinkinga ezingaba khona uma zingelashwa?

Nakuba lesi kungesona isimo esibucayi ezimweni eziningi, ezinye izinkinga zingavela uma siqhubeka isikhathi eside noma uma senzeka kumuntu onesimiso somzimba esibuthakathaka.

• Ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni: Lena ingozi enkulu yesikhashana. Uma uqhubeka nohudo nokuhlanza, ulahlekelwa uketshezi oluningi emzimbeni wakho. Uma ungakwazi ukuphuza amanzi ngesivinini esifanayo, uzophelelwa amanzi emzimbeni. Lokhu kuyingozi kakhulu ezinganeni ezincane nakubantu asebekhulile.
• Isifo sesisu: Uma ukutheleleka kuqhubeka, kungalimaza izindonga zamathumbu ethu amancane. Lokhu kungaholela ezimweni ezingamahlalakhona njenge-irritable bowel syndrome futhi kunciphise ikhono lokumunca izakhamzimba ekudleni. Lokhu kungathinta ngqo ukukhula kwezingane.
• Isifo Sokuzivikela Ezifweni: Ngezinye izikhathi, lokhu kutheleleka okuqhubekayo kubangela ukuthi amasosha omzimba wethu asebenze ngokweqile. Njengamasosha aqhubeka edubula ngisho nangemva kokuba impi isiphelile. Lokhu kungaholela ezifweni zokuzivikela ezilimaza umzimba ngisho nangemva kokuba ukutheleleka sekuphelile. Isibonelo, isifo samathambo esisabelayo, isifo sokukhathala okungapheli, noma ukungezwani kokudla okusha kungavela.

Lokhu kutholakala futhi kwelashwa kanjani?

Uma unalezi zimpawu, udokotela wakho uzozixilonga ngokuhlola isampula yendle yakho. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukuhlola ukuthi kukhona yini ama-cyst e-Giardia parasite. Kodwa-ke, ngezinye izikhathi ukuhlolwa kungase kungakwazi ukuwathola wonke ngesikhathi esisodwa. Lokhu kungadinga izinsuku eziningana zokuhlolwa. Kodwa-ke, esikhathini esiningi, odokotela bazoqala ukwelashwa ngokusekelwe ezimpawini zakho.

Izindlela zokwelapha

Akuwona wonke umuntu odinga imithi yalokhu. Kodwa uma unezimpawu, udokotela wakho uzokunikeza imithi yokulwa namagciwane ukusiza ekuqedeni ukutheleleka ngokushesha. Iningi labantu liba ngcono phakathi nesonto lokuphuza imithi. Imithi evame kakhulu yile:

• `I-Metronidazole (i-Flagyl®)`
• `I-Tinidazole (i-Tindamax®)`
• `INitazoxanide (Alinia®)`
• `I-Paromomycin (Humatin®)`

Le mithi inikezwa udokotela wakho. Ungalokothi uyisebenzise ngaphandle kweseluleko sikadokotela.Ngezinye izikhathi, abanye abantu ekhaya bangacelwa ukuthi baphuze imithi yokuvimbela ukutheleleka. Kwabomama abakhulelwe, udokotela angase anqume ukuhlehlisa ukwelashwa ngoba lo muthi ungaba yingozi enganeni.

Kungenzeka yini ukuba ngcono ngaphandle kwemithi?

Yebo, isikhathi esiningi lokhu kutheleleka kuzophela ngokwako. Uma izimpawu zakho zingenzima kakhulu, udokotela wakho angakutshela ukuthi ungaphuzi noma yimuphi umuthi. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uma usebenzisa ama-antibiotic kukho konke, amabhaktheriya angawajwayela futhi umuthi ungase ungasebenzi (ukumelana nama-antibiotic). Kodwa-ke, uma izimpawu zakho zihlala isikhathi esingaphezu kwamasonto ayisithupha, kufanele nakanjani ubone udokotela futhi uthole ukwelashwa.

Yini okufanele siyenze ukuze sizivikele kulokhu?

Kunzima ukuhlala uphephile entweni ongayiboni, kodwa singathatha izinyathelo ezimbalwa ukuvimbela lesi silwanyana ukuba singangeni emizimbeni yethu.

• Ukuhlanzeka komuntu siqu: Geza izandla zakho kahle njalo ngensipho namanzi. Qiniseka ukuthi ugeza izandla zakho ikakhulukazi ngemva kokusebenzisa indlu yangasese, ngaphambi kokudla, ngemva kokuthinta izilwane, nangemva kokusebenza ngenhlabathi.
• Ukuhlanzeka kwasekhaya: Hlanza izindlu zangasese nezindlu zangasese njalo. Uma othile ekhaya enalesi sifo, geza kahle imibhede, amathawula, njll. awasebenzisile, bese uhlanza izindawo azithinte ngesibulali-magciwane.
• Ukuphepha Kokudla: Geza imifino nezithelo kahle ngamanzi ahlanzekile ngaphambi kokudla. Uma uhamba phesheya, gwema ukudla amasaladi aluhlaza nokuphuza amanzi angenabhodlela.
• Ukusetshenziswa Kwamanzi Okuphephile: Qaphela kakhulu lapho ubhukuda emithonjeni yamanzi yemvelo (amachibi, amachibi, izimpophoma). Ngisho namachibi okubhukuda angenazo izinhlelo zokuhlunga ezifanele angaba yingozi. Qaphela ukuthi ungagwinyi amanzi. Khumbula, ukufaka i-chlorine emanzini akubulali njalo igciwane le-Giardia.

Kufanele simbone nini udokotela?

Qiniseka ukuthi ubona udokotela wakho ezimweni ezilandelayo:

• Uma izimpawu zakho zingathuthuki futhi uzizwa sengathi udinga ukwelashwa.
• Uma wena noma umuntu omnakekelayo (ikakhulukazi ingane encane noma umuntu osekhulile) ekhombisa izimpawu zokuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni (umlomo owomile nezindebe, amehlo acwilisiwe, ukwehla kokukhishwa komchamo, ukozela ngokweqile).
• Uma umuthi onikezwe udokotela ubangela imiphumela emibi engabekezeleleki.
• Uma izimpawu zinganciphi ngisho nangemva kokuthatha umuthi ngokuphelele.

Indlela engcono kakhulu yokugwema lezi zinhlobo zokutheleleka ukuhlala uhlanzekile. Kodwa-ke, njengoba iGiardia iyisidalwa esitholakala yonke indawo, kungaba nzima ngezinye izikhathi ukuyigwema. Esikhathini esiningi, ayibi yimbi kakhulu futhi izozixazulula yodwa. Kodwa-ke, uma unezimpawu, ungangabazi ukufuna ukwelashwa.
