Uke wezwa ngegciwane iZika? Kuyinto omama okufanele bayiqaphele kakhulu!

Cishe uke wezwa ngegciwane le-Zika kulezi zinsuku. Empeleni yigciwane elisakazwa omiyane. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqaphela lokhu uma ukhulelwe noma ucabanga ngokuba nomntwana. Ake sibheke ukuthi liyini igciwane le-Zika, ukuthi lingaba yini imiphumela yalo, nokuthi ungazivikela kanjani.

Iyini iZika? Kungani iyingozi?

Kalula nje, i-Zika igciwane elingadluliselwa kumuntu ngokulunywa umiyane. Leli gciwane selisakazeke emhlabeni wonke, ikakhulukazi emazweni anezimo zezulu ezifudumele nalapho izinhlobo ezithile zomiyane zivame khona.

Kufanele sikhathazeke kakhulu ngaleli gciwane kwabesifazane abakhulelwe nalabo abazokhulelwa. Ubuwazi? Uma owesifazane okhulelwe ethola i-Zika, ingabangela ukuphuphuma kwesisu, ukuzalwa kwengane ifile kanye nokukhubazeka kokuzalwa kwengane yakhe.

Esinye salezi ziphazamiso zokuzalwa yisimo esibizwa ngokuthi i-microcephaly . Lokhu kwenzeka lapho ikhanda lomntwana lincane kunokujwayelekile. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, ubuchopho bomntwana kanye nogebhezi lwakhe akukhuli kahle, okungaholela ekubambezelekeni kokukhula. Cabanga ukuthi lokho kudabukisa kangakanani. I-Zika ingadala nezinkinga ezinkulu enganeni, njengezinkinga zamehlo, ukulahlekelwa ukuzwa, kanye nokuxhuzula.

Kodwa kukhona futhi lokhu, uma umntwana ophilile ethola i-Zika ngemva kokuzalwa kwakhe, ngeke abe nesifo esibizwa ngokuthi i-microcephaly. Yizingane ezitheleleke ngaleli gciwane kuphela ezisengozini yokuthola izinkinga zobuchopho. Ngakho-ke, i-CDC, okuyi-US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ithi omama abakhulelwe kufanele bagweme ukuya ezindaweni lapho i-Zika isakazeka khona.

Ziyini izimpawu ze-Zika?

Esikhathini esiningi, i-Zika ayibangeli zimpawu, ngakho abanye abantu abazi nokuthi banegciwane.

Kodwa-ke, uma kuvela izimpawu, ngokuvamile ziba zincane kakhulu. Ungase uqaphele lezi zimpawu phakathi kwezinsuku ezimbili kuya kweziyi-14 ngemva kokulunywa:

• Imfiva
• Ukuqhuma kwesikhumba
• Ubuhlungu bamalunga, ikakhulukazi ezandleni nasezinyaweni
• Ubuhlungu bemisipha
• Ukubomvu kwamehlo (`(Pinkeye)`)
• Ikhanda elibuhlungu

Akuvamile kakhulu ukuthi inani elincane kakhulu labantu lingaba nesifo esibizwa ngokuthi i-Guillain-Barré syndrome ngemva kokuthola i-Zika. Lesi yisimo esingavamile kakhulu. Sibangela ubuthakathaka besikhashana bemisipha, ngezinye izikhathi okuholela ekukhubazekeni.

Igciwane leZika lidluliselwa kanjani?

Indlela eyinhloko umuntu angathola ngayo i-Zika ukulunywa umiyane wesifazane i-Aedes aegypti noma i-Aedes albopictus otheleleke ngaleli gciwane. Lawa mamiyane ahlala ezindaweni ezishisayo, okusho ukuthi anezimo zezulu ezifudumele, noma ezindaweni ezifudumele.

Futhi, igciwane lingadluliselwa ngokuya ocansini nomuntu onaleli gciwane, noma ngabe akanazo izimpawu, ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ikhondomu . Ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuqaphela nalokhu.

Igciwane le-Zika lingadluliselwa kusuka kumama liye enganeni yakhe engakazalwa, ngakho-ke kufanele uqaphele kakhulu uma ukhulelwe noma uhlela ukukhulelwa. Uma uhlala endaweni lapho i-Zika isakazeka khona, noma uma uya kwenye, zama ukugwema ukulunywa omiyane ngangokunokwenzeka. Futhi, sebenzisa ikhondomu ngesikhathi socansi ukuvimbela ukudluliselwa kwe-Zika.

Kuthiwa ingozi yokuthi igciwane le-Zika lidluliselwe kumama abancelisayo liya ezinganeni zabo ngobisi lwebele iphansi. I-CDC itusa ukuthi omama baqhubeke nokuncelisa izingane zabo noma ngabe bane-Zika noma bahlala endaweni lapho kukhona khona i-Zika. Kodwa-ke, njengesinyathelo sokuqapha, kungcono ukuthi omama abancelisayo bagweme ukuchayeka kuleli gciwane.

Igciwane le-Zika alidluliswa kalula njengamanye amagciwane. Alidluliswa kusuka komunye umuntu kuya komunye ngokuthimula noma ukukhwehlela, njengomkhuhlane noma umkhuhlane. Alidluliswa futhi ngokuthintana okuvamile, njengokuxhawulana. Ngakho-ke ungesabi.

Igciwane leZika livame kakhulu kuphi?

Ukuqubuka kwegciwane le-Zika kubikwe eCaribbean, eMexico, eMelika Ephakathi, eNingizimu Melika, eziQhingini zasePacific, e-Afrika nakwamanye amazwe ase-Asia.

Nakuba umiyane odlulisela i-Zika utholakale e-United States nasezindaweni ezizungezile, kube nezigameko ezimbalwa eziqinisekisiwe ze-Zika e-United States (lolu lwazi lungashintsha, ngakho-ke kungcono ukuhlola iwebhusayithi ye-CDC ukuthola ulwazi lwakamuva). Njengoba lawa mamiyane ekhona naseSri Lanka, kubalulekile ngathi ukuba siqaphele.

Wazi kanjani ukuthi unesifo iZika?

Odokotela bangahlola i-Zika ngokuhlolwa kwegazi noma ngokuhlolwa komchamo.

Abesifazane abakhulelwe, noma abesifazane abahlela ukukhulelwa, kufanele nakanjani babone udokotela ukuze bathole iseluleko uma becabanga ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi bavezwe yigciwane leZika, noma ngabe abanazo izimpawu.

Yini okufanele uyenze uma uthola i-Zika? Yiziphi izindlela zokwelapha?

Iningi labantu abangenwe yiZika liyalulama zingakapheli izinsuku ezimbili kuya kweziyi-7 ngokuphumula okwanele ekhaya kanye noketshezi oluningi (njengamanzi kanye nejusi yezithelo). Izingane ezincane zinganikwa i-paracetamol ngenxa yomkhuhlane kanye nobuhlungu bomzimba.

Kodwa-ke, nansi into okufanele uyikhumbule: Ungalokothi unike izinsana nezingane ezincane i-aspirin (ikakhulukazi uma zinesifo esibangelwa yigciwane). Ukwenza kanjalo kungabangela isifo esiyingozi kakhulu esibizwa ngokuthi i-Reye's syndrome .

Eminye imithi ethengiswa ngaphandle kwemithi kadokotela (i-OTC) ingase ibe ne-aspirin. Ngakho-ke, kuwukuhlakanipha ukufunda ilebula ngokucophelela bese ubonana nodokotela ngaphambi kokuyisebenzisa. Eminye imithi equkethe i-aspirin ingaba negama elithi ``Salicylate'' noma ``Acetylsalicylate'' esikhundleni se-``Aspirin''. Ungayiniki izingane lezi.

Ama-antibiotic asebenza kuphela ekuthelelekeni ngamagciwane. Ama-antibiotic awasizi ngalutho ekuthelelekeni ngamagciwane njenge-Zika.

Ungazivikela yini kuZika? Ungazivimbela kanjani?

Ngeshwa, awukho umuthi wokugomela igciwane le-Zika okwamanje. Ngakho-ke, uma ukhulelwe noma uhlela ukukhulelwa, indlela engcono kakhulu yokuzivikela ukugwema ukulunywa omiyane futhi uqaphele ngesikhathi socansi. Abesifazane abakhulelwe kufanele bagweme ukuya ezindaweni lapho i-Zika isakazeke khona.

Yenza lezi zinto ukuze ugweme omiyane:

Uma uhlala endaweni lapho iZika isakazeka khona, noma uya kwenye, yenza lezi zinto ukuze uzivikele komiyane:

• Mboza kahle: Gqoka amahembe anemikhono emide namabhulukwe amade. Ukuze uthole isivikelo esengeziwe, gqoka izingubo ezifuthwe noma ezihlikihlwe ngomuthi wokuxosha izinambuzane obizwa ngokuthi i-permethrin .
• Hlala endlini: Emakhaya ane-air conditioner, gcina amafasitela evaliwe, noma ufake izikrini emafasiteleni, bese uhlola ukuthi azinazo yini izimbobo ezikrinini.
• Sebenzisa isixosha izinambuzane: Khetha esiqukethe i-DEET engu-10% kuya ku-30% . Funda iziqondiso ngokucophelela bese usisebenzisa njengoba kuyalelwe. Ungasebenzisi i-DEET ezinganeni ezingaphansi kwezinyanga ezimbili ubudala. Ungasebenzisa futhi isixosha izinambuzane esibizwa ngokuthi i-Picaridin, ngokusho kwe-CDC. Futhi, uwoyela we-lemon eucalyptus uphephile ezinganeni ezingaphezu kweminyaka emi-3 ubudala.
• Susa amanzi amile: Khulula noma yiziphi izindawo lapho amanzi angaqoqana khona, njengamabhavu okugeza, izimbiza zezimbali, namabhakede, njengoba omiyane bebeka amaqanda abo futhi bezalela ezindaweni ezinjalo.

Imibhangqwana ezama ukuba nomntwana kufanele futhi icabangele lokhu:

Imibhangqwana ehambele izindawo lapho iZika isakazeka khona futhi enethemba lokuba nomntwana kufanele ilinde isikhashana ngaphambi kokukhulelwa. Ngenxa yokuthi igciwane lingadluliselwa ngocansi, kubalulekile ukuthi amadoda asebenzise amakhondomu.

• Uma owesifazane eneZika, noma eye waya endaweni eneZika, kufanele alinde okungenani izinyanga ezimbili ngaphambi kokuzama ukukhulelwa.
• Uma indoda ineZika noma ike yaya endaweni eneZika, kufanele ilinde okungenani izinyanga ezintathu ngaphambi kokuzama ukukhulelwa.
• Uma bobabili abalingani beye endaweni eneZika, noma uma indoda ineZika, kufanele balinde okungenani izinyanga ezintathu ngaphambi kokuzama ukukhulelwa.

Ikakhulukazi mayelana nempilo yocansi yabesifazane abakhulelwe:

Imibhangqwana eseyikhulelwe kakade, ehlala noma eke yaya ezindaweni lapho iZika ivame khona, kufanele igweme ukuya ocansini phakathi nokukhulelwa, noma isebenzise ikhondomu njalo.

Imibhangqwana engakhulelwe futhi engathembi ukuba nomntwana kufanele yazi lokhu:

Ngisho nemibhangqwana engakhulelwe futhi engenalo ithemba lokuba nomntwana kufanele isebenzise ikhondomu ngesikhathi socansi okungenani izinyanga ezintathu ngemva kokuya endaweni lapho kukhona khona iZika.

Kufanele ngimbone nini udokotela?

Abesifazane abakhulelwe (noma labo abasola ukuthi bakhulelwe) abaye bavakashela izindawo ezineZika, noma abanezimpawu zeZika, kufanele nakanjani babone udokotela. Kungcono ukuxoxa ngesimo sakho nodokotela wakho futhi ulandele noma yimiphi imiyalelo edingekayo.

Umyalezo okufanele uthathwe ekhaya ovela kulesi sihloko uthi

Kulungile, ngakho-ke sesikhulume kakhulu ngegciwane leZika. Nazi izinto eziyinhloko okudingeka sizikhumbule:

• I-Zika (i-Zika Virus) igciwane elidluliselwa omiyane. Lingaba yingozi kakhulu, ikakhulukazi kwabesifazane abakhulelwe kanye nezingane zabo ezingakazalwa. Lingabangela ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa njenge-microcephaly.
• Izimpawu azibonakali kuwo wonke umuntu, kodwa uma zibonakala, ngokuvamile ziba zincane.
• Ukuvimbela kuyinto ebaluleke kakhulu. Njengoba okwamanje kungekho muthi wokugoma, ukugwema omiyane nokwenza ucansi oluphephile (ukusebenzisa amakhondomu) yizona zinto ezibaluleke kakhulu.
• Abesifazane abakhulelwe kanye nalabo abahlela ukukhulelwa kufanele bagweme ukuya ezindaweni lapho kukhona khona iZika.
• Uma unokungabaza, ikakhulukazi uma ukhulelwe, qiniseka ukuthi ubona udokotela ukuze akunike iseluleko.

Into ebalulekile ukuqaphela, ungesabi, futhi uqaphele. Uyaqonda?

I- Zika, igciwane le-Zika, igciwane le-Zika, omiyane, ukukhulelwa, i-microcephaly, izimpawu, ukuvimbela, omiyane be-Aedes
