Kutheni le nto mhlawumbi ngekhe ufumane uMkhuhlane noMkhuhlane ngaxeshanye

Iimpawu ezibandayo kunye nomkhuhlane zinokungqubana okuthile, kwaye akukho kuhle. Kodwa ukuba unelishwa ngokwaneleyo ukuba ubethwe ngenye, awukho amathuba okuba ufumane enye ngaxeshanye, ngokophononongo lwakutsha nje. (Idibeneyo: Cold Vs Flu: Uyintoni umahluko?)

Uphononongo, olupapashwe kwi Iinkqubo zeNational Academy of Sciences, Ihlole indlela umkhuhlane kunye nezinye iintsholongwane zokuphefumla ezinxibelelana ngayo. Ukuzoba ngaphezulu kwama-44,000 amatyala esifo sokuphefumla kwisithuba seminyaka esithoba, abaphandi bazimisele ukuqonda ngcono ukuba intsholongwane yokuphefumla inye ichaphazela amathuba okuchola okwesibini.

Ababhali bophononongo babhale ukuba bafumene "inkxaso eyomeleleyo" yobukho bentsebenziswano engalunganga phakathi komkhuhlane A kunye nerhinovirus (eyaziwa ngokuba yingqele eqhelekileyo). Ngamanye amagama, nje ukuba umntu ahlaselwe yintsholongwane enye, banokungabi sengozini yesibini. Ababhali banike iinkcazo ezibini ezinokubakho ephepheni labo: Eyokuqala kukuba ezi ntsholongwane zimbini zikhuphisana nezinye iiseli ezinokuhlaselwa. Esinye isizathu esinokubakho kukuba xa sele zosulelwe yintsholongwane, iiseli zinokuthatha "imeko yokukhusela intsholongwane" ezenza zixhathise okanye zingachaphazeleki kancinci kwintsholongwane yesibini. Intle kakhulu, hayi?

Abaphandi bafumanisa ubudlelwane obufanayo phakathi komkhuhlane B kunye ne-adenovirus (intsholongwane enokubangela ukuphefumla, ukwetyisa kunye neempawu zamehlo). Nangona kunjalo, oku kugcinwe kuphela kwinqanaba elibanzi labemi kunakwinqanaba lomntu ngamnye. Inokuba kungenxa yokuba abantu ababelaliswe esibhedlele ngenxa yentsholongwane enye emva koko babengekho amathuba okuba bavezwe kwenye ngexesha lokhathalelo lwabo, ababhali bacebisa kuphando lwabo.

I-FYI, nangona kunjalo: Ukufumana umkhuhlane akuthethi ukuba uyakuba nekhaka lethutyana elikukhusela kuzo zonke ezinye izifo. Ngapha koko, ukosuleleka ngumkhuhlane kunokukwenza Kaninzi ichaphazeleka kwiibhaktheriya eziyingozi, utsho uNorman Moore, Ph.D., umlawuli wezifo ezosulelayo kwimicimbi yenzululwazi ye-Abbott. “Siyazi ukuba umkhuhlane unokubangela ukuba abantu bafumane inyumoniya yebhaktiriya yesibini,” uyacacisa. "Ngelixa olu phononongo lunokucebisa ukuba kuncinci umngcipheko wokufumana ezinye iintsholongwane, kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule ukuba xa abantu besifa ngumkhuhlane, ihlala isuka kwingxaki yebhakteriya efana nenyumoniya."

Kwaye i-ICYWW, unyango oluqhelekileyo lomkhuhlane alutshintshi, nokuba kukho intsholongwane yokuphefumla eyongezelelweyo. Izinto zokulwa intsholongwane ziqhelekile kunyango lomkhuhlane, kodwa unyango olubandayo luphucula nje iimpawu, ezichaza ukuba kutheni iimvavanyo zomkhuhlane zixhaphakile kwaye iimvavanyo ezibandayo aziyonto, uyachaza uMorey. "Zikhona iimvavanyo ezinokujonga zonke iintsholongwane, kodwa zibiza kakhulu," uyongeza. "Ukufumana ezinye iintsholongwane zokuphefumla ngaphaya komkhuhlane kaninzi azitshintshi izigqibo zonyango, kodwa kuhlala kubalulekile ukulawula umkhuhlane ngokusemthethweni, onokwenziwa kuphela ngokuvavanywa."

Akukho ukujikeleza kwinto yokuba umkhuhlane kunye neengqele zombini zincanca zodwa. Kodwa ubuncinci unokufumana intuthuzelo kwinto yokuba akunakwenzeka ukuba badibane nawe.
