Kalula nje, i-Pontiac fever isifo esifana nomkhuhlane esenzeka lapho igciwane elibizwa ngokuthi i-Legionella lingena ohlelweni lwakho lokuphefumula, okungukuthi, emigudwini yakho yokuphefumula. Empeleni uhlobo oluthambile nolungelubi kangako lwesifo esikhulu esibizwa ngokuthi i-legionellosis.

Cishe uke wezwa ngesifo sikaLegionnaires . Leso uhlobo olubi kakhulu lwe-legionellosis. Lungabangela ne-pneumonia , okuyinto embi kakhulu. Kodwa izindaba ezinhle ukuthi i-Pontiac fever ayibi kakhulu, futhi ayibangeli i-pneumonia. Ngakho-ke akukho okufanele ukhathazeke ngakho.

Ngezinye izikhathi uzwa ephephandabeni noma ku-TV ukuthi endaweni ethile, ake sithi ehhotela elikhulu noma ehhovisi, abantu abaningana banesifo se-legionellosis. Yilokho esikubiza ngokuthi 'ukuqubuka' ngesiNgisi, okusho ukusabalala kwalesi sifo ngasikhathi sinye. Kodwa isikhathi esiningi, i-Pontiac fever yenzeka ngezikhathi ezithile. Lokho kusho ukuthi ithinta umuntu ngamunye ngamunye. Futhi, akwenzeki kuwo wonke umuntu, ikakhulukazi labo abanezimo ezithile zempilo. Sizoxoxa ngalokho kamuva.

Ziyini izimpawu zalokhu? Kuzwakala kanjani?

Kulungile, manje ake sibone ukuthi yiziphi izimpawu esizizwayo lapho sithola umkhuhlane wePontiac. Lezi zivame ukufana nezimpawu zomkhuhlane ovamile.

• Umkhuhlane: Ukuzizwa ushisa, mhlawumbe ngisho nokuba nomkhuhlane uma ubheka ishadi lokushisa.
• Ubuhlungu bomzimba: Njengokungathi ukhathele ngempela, imisipha yakho iyabuhlungu.
• Ikhanda elibuhlungu: Kungase kube khona ikhanda elibuhlungu kakhulu.
• Ukugodola: Ukuzwa ngokuzumayo kokubanda, njengokungathi umzimba uyathuthumela.
• Ukukhathala (ukukhathala) noma ukuntuleka kwamandla (ukungakhululeki): Umuzwa wokungafuni ukwenza lutho nokufuna nje ukuhlala embhedeni.

Lezi yizimpawu ezivame kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, ngezinye izikhathi kunezinye izimpawu ezincane ezingase zivele, kodwa azivamile kakhulu:

• Isiyezi noma i-vertigo: Ungase uzizwe sengathi uyazungeza lapho umi.
• Ukuzwela ukukhanya (i-photophobia): Amehlo abonakala eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka uma evezwa ekukhanyeni noma elangeni.
• Ukuqina kwentamo:Kunzima kancane ukuhambisa intamo yakho, izwakala iqinile.
• Ukungakwazi ukugxila emgomweni owodwa, ukudideka: Ukudideka okuncane ngokuthi yini okufanele uyenze nokuthi kufanele ube kuphi.
• Ukucasuka kwesisu: Lokhu kusho ukuthi isicanucanu , ukuhlanza , kanye nesifo sohudo nakho kungenzeka kaningi.

Kungani sithola lo mkhuhlane wePontiac? Iyini imbangela?

Imbangela eyodwa kuphela ye-Pontiac fever yibhaktheriya ebizwa ngokuthi iLegionella. Leli bhaktheriya likhona endaweni esikuyo, okungukuthi, liyinto ekhona ngokwemvelo. Leli bhaktheriya likhona emanzini amachibi, emifuleni, emifuleni, ngisho nasenhlabathini emanzi.

Kodwa, inkinga iwukuthi uma leli gciwane lingena ezinhlelweni zamanzi esizisebenzisayo, ikakhulukazi izinhlelo zokupholisa umoya kanye namathangi amanzi ezakhiweni ezinkulu. Khona-ke lezo zinhlelo zamanzi zingcoliswa yileli gciwane. Yilapho-ke siqala khona ukukhathazeka ngakho.

Leli gciwane leLegionella lingena kanjani emizimbeni yethu?

Manje mhlawumbe uyazibuza ukuthi leli gciwane lingena kanjani emizimbeni yethu, akunjalo? Isikhathi esiningi, lokhu kwenzeka uma siphefumula into efana nenkungu equkethe amaconsi amanzi amancane aqukethe igciwane leLegionella. Cabanga ngakho njengeconsi elincane lamanzi. Kulapho lingena ekhaleni noma emlonyeni wethu lapho sigula khona.

Kunezindawo eziningana lapho singaphefumula khona inkungu yamanzi equkethe amagciwane eLegionella. Kuhle ukwazi lokhu kancane:

• Amakhanda eshawa: Uma sinaleli gciwane emanzini eliphuma eshawa.
• Amapayipi: Amapayipi amanzi atholakala kusinki noma kwenye indawo.
• Izinhlelo zomoya opholile zezentengiselwano: Kusukela ezinhlelweni ezinkulu ze-AC emahhovisi amakhulu, ezitolo ezinkulu nasemahhotela. Kodwa kuthiwa lokhu akuveli kuma-AC asemakhaya noma kuma-AC ezimotweni. Ngakho ungakhathazeki ngakho.
• Uketshezi lwe-wiper yefasitela: Ikakhulukazi uma ufaka amanzi amaningi kakhulu kulo hhayi uketshezi lwe-wiper olufanele.
• Ama-hot tub: Amanzi ashisayo kula ma-tub angabangela ukukhula kwamagciwane.
• Izici zamanzi okuhlobisa: Imithombo yamanzi engadini nangaphakathi kwezakhiwo ezinkulu.
• Amathangi amanzi kanye nezifudumezi: Uma lezi zinganakekelwa kahle.
• Izinhlelo ezinkulu zokufaka amapayipi: Izinhlelo zokufaka amapayipi eziyinkimbinkimbi, ikakhulukazi lezo ezitholakala ezakhiweni ezinkulu.

Akuvamile ukuthi leli gciwane libe khona emanzini esiwaphuzayo, futhi lawo manzi ayaphefumula., okungukuthi, "yehla ngepayipi elingalungile" noma ngokwemvelo, "yehla ngepayipi elingalungile" uma ingena ohlelweni lokuphefumula. (Ukulungiswa: "yehla ngepayipi elingalungile" ngesiKorea. Kufanele ngithi "yehla ngepayipi elingalungile" noma ngokwemvelo, "yehla ngepayipi elingalungile uma ingena emphinjeni").

Ukulungiswa: Akuvamile ukuthi la magciwane atholakale emanzini esiwaphuzayo bese ebhajwa emphinjeni wethu (ekuphefumuleni) , okusho ukuthi angene epayipini elingalungile , bese engena ohlelweni lokuphefumula. (Ukulungiswa futhi, ukulungiswa kwangaphambilini kwakusasebenza ngesiKorea. Umqondo uwukuthi "lapho amanzi 'engena epayipini elingalungile'").

Ukulungiswa (futhi): Akuvamile ukuthi la magciwane atholakale emanzini esiwaphuzayo, futhi uma lawo manzi ebhajwa emphinjeni wethu futhi ehamba ngendlela engafanele (ephumayo) , okungukuthi, angene emgudwini wokuphefumula, nawo angakhula.

Ingabe i-Pontiac Fever iyathelelana kusuka komunye umuntu kuya komunye?

Lona futhi umbuzo abantu abaningi abawubuzayo. Uma uthola lesi sifo, ungasisabalalisa kwabanye abantu? Cha, i-Pontiac fever ayithelelani.

Ubani onamathuba amaningi okuthola i-Pontiac Fever? (Izici Eziyingozi)

Eqinisweni, akubona bonke abantu abagulayo ngenxa yokuhogela amagciwane eLegionella. Amasosha ethu omzimba ayalwa nawo. Kodwa abanye abantu banamathuba amaningi okuba nawo (izinto eziyingozi). Ake sibheke ukuthi obani abasengozini enkulu:

• Kwababhemayo noma ababebhema ngaphambili: Ukubhema kwenza amaphaphu abe buthaka.
• Kulabo abaneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-50: Ukungavikeleki komzimba kungase kwehle kancane njengoba ukhula.
• Kulabo abanesimiso somzimba sokuzivikela esibuthakathaka: Lokhu kusho abantu abanezifo ezifana ne-HIV/AIDS, noma labo abaphuza imithi yomdlavuza, enciphisa amasosha omzimba abo.
• Kulabo abanezifo ezithile ezingamahlalakhona: Isibonelo:
• Umdlavuza
• Izifo zamaphaphu zesikhathi eside njenge -COPD (Isifo Esingapheli Sokuvimbela Amaphaphu)
• Isifo sikashukela
• Isifo sezinso (ukwehluleka kwezinso)
