Uvavanyo lwentsholongwane lwe-COVID-19

Ukuvavanyelwa intsholongwane ebangela i-COVID-19 kubandakanya ukuthatha isampulu ye-mucus kwindawo yakho yokuphefumla ephezulu. Olu vavanyo lusetyenziselwa ukufumanisa i-COVID-19.

Uvavanyo lwentsholongwane lwe-COVID-19 alusetyenziswanga kuvavanya ukhuseleko lwakho kwi-COVID-19. Ukuvavanya ukuba ngaba une-antibodies ngokuchasene ne-SARS-CoV-2 virus, udinga uvavanyo lwe-COVID-19 antibody.

Uvavanyo luhlala lwenziwa ngeendlela ezimbini. Kuvavanyo lwe-nasopharyngeal, uya kucelwa ukuba ukhohlele ngaphambi kokuba uvavanyo luqale kwaye uyibuyise intloko kancinci. I-swab engenazintsholongwane, enomqhaphu idluliswa ngobunono ngeempumlo nakwi-nasopharynx. Le yeyona ndawo iphambili yomqala, emva kwempumlo. I-swab ishiywe endaweni yemizuzwana emininzi, ijikeleze, kwaye isuswe. Le nkqubo inokwenziwa nakwenye impumlo yakho.

Uvavanyo lwempumlo lwangaphandle, i-swab iya kufakwa kwimpumlo yakho ingabi ngaphezulu kwe-3/4 ye-intshi (iisentimitha ezi-2). I-swab iya kujikelezwa amaxesha ama-4 ngelixa ucinezela ngaphakathi kwempumlo yakho. I-swab efanayo iya kusetyenziselwa ukuqokelela iisampulu kuzo zombini iimpumlo.

Uvavanyo lunokwenziwa ngumboneleli wezempilo eofisini, ukuqhuba ngemoto, okanye indawo yokuhamba-hamba. Buza kwisebe lakho lezeMpilo ukuze ufumanise ukuba uvavanyo lukhona na kwindawo ohlala kuyo.

Iikiti zovavanyo lwasekhaya ziyafumaneka ukuqokelela isampulu kusetyenziswa i-swab yempumlo okanye isampulu yamathe. Isampulu iya kuthi ke ithunyelwe kwilebhu yovavanyo, okanye ngezinye iikiti, unokufumana iziphumo ekhaya. Nxibelelana nomboneleli wakho ukuze ubone ukuba ukuqokelelwa kwekhaya kunye nokuvavanywa kufanelekile na kwaye kuyafumaneka kwindawo yakho.

Zimbini iintlobo zovavanyo lwentsholongwane olukhoyo olunokuchonga i-COVID-19:

• Uvavanyo lwe-Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (ekwabizwa ngokuba ziimvavanyo ze-Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests) lubhaqa izinto zemfuza zentsholongwane ezibangela i-COVID-19. Iisampulu zihlala zithunyelwa elebhu ukuvavanywa, kwaye iziphumo zihlala zifumaneka kwintsuku ezi-1 ukuya kwezi-3. Kukho iimvavanyo ezikhawulezayo zokuqonda isifo se-PCR eziqhutywa kwizixhobo ezikhethekileyo kwindawo ekuyo, neziphumo zazo zifumaneka kwimizuzu eliqela.
• Uvavanyo lwe-Antigen lubona iiproteni ezithile kwintsholongwane ebangela i-COVID-19. Uvavanyo lwe-antigen luvavanyo lokuqonda ngokukhawuleza, oko kuthetha ukuba iisampulu ziyavavanywa kwisiza, kwaye iziphumo ziyafumaneka kwimizuzu eliqela.
• Uvavanyo lokuchonga olukhawulezileyo lwalo naluphi na uhlobo aluchanekanga kangako kunolovavanyo oluqhelekileyo lwePCR. Ukuba ufumana iziphumo ezingalunganga kuvavanyo olukhawulezileyo, kodwa uneempawu ze-COVID-19, umboneleli wakho angenza uvavanyo lwePCR olungakhawuleziyo.

Ukuba ukhohlela uvelisa i-phlegm, umboneleli unokuqokelela isampulu yesikhohlela. Ngamanye amaxesha, iimfihlo ezivela kumatshini wakho wokuphefumla ongezantsi zinokusetyenziselwa ukuvavanya intsholongwane ebangela i-COVID-19.

Akukho lungiselelo lukhethekileyo luyafuneka.

Kuxhomekeka kuhlobo lovavanyo, unokuba nokungonwabi okuncinci okanye okuphakathi, amehlo akho angankcenkceshela, kwaye unokugag.

Uvavanyo luchonga intsholongwane ye-SARS-CoV-2 (isifo esibukhali sokuphefumla isifo coronavirus 2), ebangela i-COVID-19.

Uvavanyo luthathwa njengesiqhelo xa lingenayo. Uvavanyo olubi luthetha ukuba ngela xesha wawuvavanywa, ngekhe ubenayo intsholongwane ebangela i-COVID-19 kwindlela yakho yokuphefumla. Kodwa unokuvavanya ukuba awunayo into xa uvavanywe kwangethuba kakhulu emva kosulelo lwe-COVID-19. Kwaye unokufumana uvavanyo oluthembekileyo kamva ukuba uye wachaphazeleka kwintsholongwane emva kokuba uvavanyiwe. Kwakhona, uvavanyo olukhawulezileyo lokuchonga naluphi na uhlobo aluchanekanga kangako kunolovavanyo oluqhelekileyo lwePCR.

Ngesi sizathu, ukuba uneempawu ze-COVID-19 okanye usemngciphekweni wokufumana ikhontrakthi ye-COVID-19 kwaye iziphumo zakho zovavanyo bezingalunganga, umboneleli wakho unokucebisa ukuba uphinde uphinde ubuye ngexesha elizayo.

Uvavanyo oluthembekileyo luthetha ukuba wosulelwe yi-SARS-CoV-2. Unokuba okanye ungabinazo iimpawu ze-COVID-19, isigulo esibangelwa yintsholongwane. Nokuba unempawu okanye awunayo, usenokusasaza esi sifo kwabanye. Kuya kufuneka uzihlukanise ekhaya lakho kwaye ufunde indlela yokukhusela abanye ekuphuhliseni i-COVID-19. Kuya kufuneka uyenze ngokukhawuleza ngelixa ulinde ulwazi oluthe kratya okanye isikhokelo. Kuya kufuneka uhlale ekhaya kwaye ukude nabanye de udibana nezikhokelo zokuphelisa ukuhlala wedwa ekhaya.
