I-Colorado fever fever yintsholongwane yentsholongwane. Isasazeka ngokulunywa yiRocky Mountain wood tickI-Dermacentor andersoni).

Esi sifo sihlala sibonakala phakathi kuka-Matshi noSeptemba. Uninzi lweziganeko zenzeka ngo-Epreli, ngoMeyi nangoJuni.

IColorado tick fever ibonwa rhoqo kwintshona yeUnited States naseCanada kwiindawo eziphakamileyo ngaphezu kweenyawo ezingama-421 (1,219 yeemitha). Isasazwa kukulunywa ngamakhalane okanye, kwiimeko ezinqabileyo kakhulu, ngokutofelwa igazi.

Iimpawu zeColorado tick fever zihlala ziqala kwiintsuku ezili-1 ukuya kwezi-14 emva kokulunywa ngamakhalane. Umkhuhlane wequbuliso uyaqhubeka kangangeentsuku ezi-3, uyemka, emva koko ubuye emva kweentsuku ezi-1 ukuya kwezi-3 emva kwezinye iintsuku ezimbalwa. Ezinye iimpawu zibandakanya:

• Ukuziva ubuthathaka kuyo yonke indawo kunye neentlungu zomzimba
• Intloko emva kwamehlo (ngesiqhelo ngexesha lomkhuhlane)
• Ukulala (ukulala) okanye ukudideka
  
• Isicaphucaphu nokugabha
• Irash (inokuba yimibala elula)
• Ubuntununtunu ekukhanyeni (photophobia)
• Intlungu yesikhumba
• Ukubila

Umboneleli wezempilo uyakukuvavanya kwaye akubuze malunga neempawu kunye neempawu zakho. Ukuba umboneleli urhanela ukuba unesi sifo, uya kubuzwa malunga nomsebenzi wakho wangaphandle.

Uvavanyo lwegazi luhlala lu-odolwa. Uvavanyo lwe-Antibody lunokwenziwa ukuqinisekisa usulelo. Olunye uvavanyo lwegazi lunokubandakanya:

• Gcwalisa ubalo lwegazi (CBC)
• Uvavanyo lomsebenzi wesibindi

Akukho lunyango oluthile lolu sulelo lwintsholongwane.

Umboneleli uya kuqinisekisa ukuba uphawu lokukhupha lususwe ngokupheleleyo kulusu.

Unokuxelelwa ukuba uthathe isiqabu sentlungu ukuba uyayifuna. MUSA ukunika iasprini kumntwana onesifo. I-Aspirin inxulunyaniswe neReye syndrome ebantwaneni. Inokubangela ezinye iingxaki kwiColorado tick fever.

Ukuba iingxaki ziyavela, unyango luya kujolisa ekulawuleni iimpawu.

Umkhuhlane weColorado umkhaza uhlala uhamba ngokwawo kwaye awuyongozi.

Iingxaki zinokubandakanya:

• Usulelo lweembrane ezigubungela ubuchopho kunye nentambo yomgogodla (meningitis)
• Ukucaphuka kunye nokudumba kwengqondo (encephalitis)
• Iziqendu eziphindaphindayo zokopha ngaphandle kwesizathu

Tsalela umnikezeli wakho ukuba wena okanye umntwana wakho uvelisa iimpawu zesi sifo, ukuba iimpawu ziya zisiba mbi okanye aziphuculi ngonyango, okanye ukuba iimpawu ezintsha ziyavela.

Xa uhamba okanye unyuka intaba kwiindawo ezele amakhalane:

• Nxiba izihlangu ezivaliweyo
• Nxiba imikhono emide
• Tuck ibhulukhwe ende kwiikawusi ukukhusela imilenze

Nxiba impahla ekhanyayo, ebonisa amakhalane ngokulula kunemibala emnyama. Oku kwenza ukuba kube lula ukususa.

Zijonge ngokwakho kunye nezilwanyana zasekhaya rhoqo. Ukuba ufumana amakhalane, zisuse kwangoko ngokusebenzisa ii-tweezers, utsala ngononophelo kwaye uzinze. Ukugxotha izinambuzane kunokuba luncedo.
