Ngaba ungasifumana isifo seLyme komnye umntu? Impendulo emfutshane nguhayi. Akukho bungqina ngqo bokuba isifo seLyme siyosulela. Ngaphandle kwabasetyhini abakhulelweyo, abanokudlulisela kwimveku yabo.

Isifo seLyme sisifo esosulelayo esibangelwa ziibhaktheriya ze-spirochete ezidluliselwa ngamakhalane anemilenze emnyama. Iibhaktheriya ezibunjiweyo, IBorrelia burgdorferi, Ziyafana ne-bacterial spirochete ezibangela igcushuwa.

Isifo seLyme sinokubakhathaza abanye abantu kwaye sisongele ubomi ukuba asinyangwa.

Uqikelelo lokuba ngabantu abangama-300,000 e-United States abafunyaniswa benesifo i-Lyme minyaka le. Kodwa iimeko ezininzi zinokungachazwa. Olunye uphononongo lubonisa ukuba imeko yeLyme inokuphakama njenge-1 yezigidi zamatyala ngonyaka.

Ukuxilongwa kulucelomngeni kuba iimpawu zeLyme zilinganisa nezinye izifo ezininzi.

Iinyani zembali malunga noLyme

• ILyme ithatha igama layo kwidolophu yaseConnecticut apho abantwana abaliqela baphuhlise into ebonakala ngathi sisifo samathambo kwi-1970s. Umtyholwa kwakucingelwa ukuba uluma amakhalane.
• Kwi-1982, isazinzulu uWilly Burgdorfer wachonga isifo. Iibhaktheriya ezithwala amakhalane, IBorrelia burgdorferi, ubizwa ngegama lakhe.
• ILyme ayisosifo sitsha. I-Lyme-type spirochetes yafunyanwa kwi, i-5,300 yeminyaka ubudala umzimba ogcinwe kakuhle ofunyenwe kwiAlps ngo-1991.

Yeyiphi indlela eqhelekileyo yokufumana uLyme?

Amakhalane amaxhama amnyama asuleleke IBorrelia burgdorferi dlulisa iintsholongwane zeLyme xa ziluma. Amakhalane, Ixodes scapularis (Ixodes pacificus kuNxweme oluseNtshona), unokuhambisa ezinye iintsholongwane ezibangela izifo, iintsholongwane, kunye neeparasites. Ezi zibizwa ngokuba zii-coinfections.

Ikhalane lifuna ukutya kwegazi kwinqanaba ngalinye lobomi bayo- njengezibungu, iingcungcu, kunye nabantu abadala. Amakhalane aqhele ukutyisa izilwanyana, iintaka ezitya emhlabeni, okanye izilwanyana ezirhubuluzayo. Abantu bangumthombo wesibini wegazi.

Uninzi lwezinto ezilumayo ebantwini zivela kwii-nymphs, ezinobungakanani bembewu yepoppy. Kunzima ukuzibona, nakulusu oluvulekileyo. Amaxesha okuqala okulunywa ngamakhalane ngabantu asentwasahlobo nasehlotyeni.

Njengokuba intsholongwane ikusondla, itofa i-spirochetes egazini lakho. ibonakalisile ukuba ubuzaza (bentsholongwane) bentsholongwane buyahluka, kuxhomekeka ekubeni ingaba izipirochetes zivela kwiincindi zamathambo okanye midgut yamakhalane. Kolu phando lwezilwanyana, usulelo lufuna amaxesha ali-14 ngaphezulu kwe-midgut spirochetes kunamathe spirochetes.

Kuxhomekeka kubuzaza bentsholongwane yamakhalane, ungosulelwa nguLyme ngaphakathi kokulunywa ngamakhalane.

Ungayifumana iLyme kulwelo lomzimba?

Iibhaktheriya zeLyme zifumaneka kumanzi omzimba, njenge:

• amathe
• umchamo
• ubisi lwebele

Kodwa abukho ubungqina obunzima bokuthi uLyme uyasasazeka ukusuka komnye umntu ukuya emntwini ngokudibana namanzi omzimba. Ungakhathazeki ngokumanga umntu oneLyme.

Ngaba unokufumana uLyme kusasazo ngokwesondo?

Akukho bungqina ngqo ukuba uLyme usasazwa ngabantu. Iingcali zeLyme zahlulwe malunga nokubakho.

"Ubungqina bokusasazeka ngokwesondo endikubonileyo buthathaka kakhulu kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo abuqinisekanga nangayiphi na indlela yesayensi," utshilo uGqirha Elizabeth Maloney kwiHealthline. UMaloney ngumongameli weNtsebenziswano yezeMfundo zeZifo eziKhathazwa ziZifo.

UGqirha Sam Donta, omnye umphandi waseLyme, uvumile.

Kwelinye icala, umphandi waseLyme uGqirha Raphael Stricker uxelele i-Healthline, "Akukho sizathu sokuba i-Lyme spirochete ngekhe usasazeke ngesondo ngabantu. Ukuba kwenzeka kangakanani, okanye kunzima kangakanani, asazi. "

U-Stricker ucele "iManhattan Project" indlela eya eLyme, kubandakanya nophando oluthe kratya.

Izifundo ezingathanga ngqo zothumelo lomntu, kodwa azicacanga. Izifundo ezimbalwa zezilwanyana zokuhanjiswa ngokwesondo kweLyme spirochete zibonise ukuba kuyenzeka kwezinye iimeko.

Akuyonto yokuziphatha ukuvavanya ukuhanjiswa ngokwesondo ngokusulela ngabom abantu, njengoko kwenziwa nge-syphilis ngaphambili. (I-syphilis spirochete idluliselwa ngesondo.)

Ifunyenwe bukhoma i-Lyme spirochetes kwisidoda kunye neemfihlo zabantu basetyhini abaneLyme ebhaliweyo. Kodwa oku akuthethi ukuba kukho i-spirochetes eyaneleyo yokusasaza intsholongwane.

Ngaba unokufumana uLyme kutofelo-gazi?

Akukho matyala abhaliweyo okuhanjiswa kukaLyme ngotofelo-gazi.

Kodwa iLyme spirochete IBorrelia burgdorferi Ibibekelwe bucala kwigazi lomntu, kwaye umntu omdala wafumanisa ukuba iiLyme spirochetes zingasinda kwiinkqubo zokugcina zebhanki yegazi. Ngesi sizathu, icebisa ukuba abantu abanyangwa uLyme akufuneki banikele ngegazi.

Kwelinye icala, kuye kwakho amatyala angaphezulu kwama-30 otofelo-gazi lwe-babesiosis, isifo esifunyanwa sisinambuzane esifana nekhalane elinomlenze omnyama ohambisa uLyme.

Ngaba iLyme ingahanjiswa ngexesha lokukhulelwa?

Umfazi okhulelweyo one-Lyme enganyangekiyo unako ukuya kwimveku. Kodwa ukuba bafumana unyango olwaneleyo ngeLyme, iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga akunakulindeleka.

Abafazi abakhulelweyo abangama-66 bafumanise ukuba abasetyhini abangafunyaniswanga banomngcipheko ophezulu kakhulu wokufumana iziphumo zokukhulelwa.

Usulelo olusuka kumama luye kumntwana olungekazalwa lunokwenzeka kwiinyanga ezintathu zokuqala zokukhulelwa, ngokukaDonta. Ukuba umama akakhange anyangwe, usulelo luya kubangela ukungaqheleki kokuzalwa okanye ukuphuma kwesisu.

Akukho bungqina bunokuthenjwa, utshilo u-Donta, ukuba ugqithiso koomama ukuya kolusana luyazibonakalisa iinyanga ukuya kwiminyaka kamva emntwaneni.

Unyango lwe-Lyme lwabasetyhini abakhulelweyo luyafana nakwabanye abaneLyme, ngaphandle kokuba ii-antibiotics kusapho lwe-tetracycline akufuneki zisetyenziswe.

Ungafumana uLyme kwizilwanyana zasekhaya?

Akukho bungqina bokudluliselwa ngokuthe ngqo kweLyme ukusuka kwizilwanyana ezifuywa ebantwini. Kodwa izinja nezinye izilwanyana zasekhaya zinokuzisa amakhalane athwala uLyme ekhayeni lakho. La makhalane anokuncamathela kuwe kwaye abangele usulelo.

Yinto elungileyo ukuzijonga izilwanyana zasekhaya ukuba azinamakhalane na emva kokuba zikwingca ende, ibrashi engaphantsi, okanye iindawo ezinamaplanga apho amakhalane aqhelekile.

Iimpawu ekufuneka uzijongile ukuba ubukhe wakhapha amakhalane

Iimpawu zeLyme ziyahluka ngokubanzi kwaye ziyalingisa ezo zezinye izifo ezininzi. Nazi ezinye zeempawu eziqhelekileyo:

• irhashalala elibomvu elisicaba, elimile okweqanda okanye inkunzi yenkomo (kodwa qaphela ukuba usenako ukuba noLyme ngaphandle kolu rhashalala)
• ukudinwa
• Iimpawu zomkhuhlane ezinjengentloko, umkhuhlane, kunye nokugula ngokubanzi
• iintlungu ezidibeneyo okanye ukudumba
• ubuntununtunu bokukhanya
• utshintsho lweemvakalelo okanye lokuqonda
• iingxaki zemithambo-luvo njengokulahleka kwemali eseleyo
• iingxaki zentliziyo

Kwakhona, abukho ubungqina ngqo bokudluliselwa komntu buya eLyme. Ukuba umntu ohlala naye uneLyme kwaye uhlakulela iimpawu, kunokwenzeka ngenxa yokuba nobabini niveliswe kwindawo efanayo yabantu abanamakhalane.

Amanyathelo othintelo

Thatha amanyathelo othintelo ukuba ukwindawo apho kukho amakhalane (kunye nexhama):

• Nxiba iibhulukhwe ezinde nemikhono emide.
• Zitshize ngesinambuzane esisebenzayo.
• Zijonge kunye nezilwanyana zasekhaya amakhalane ukuba ubukhe wakummandla apho kukho amakhalane.

Ukuthatha

ILyme sisibetho esingachazwanga eMelika. Ukuxilongwa kulucelomngeni kuba iimpawu zeLyme zifana nezinye izifo ezininzi.

Akukho bungqina bokuba uLyme uyosulela. Olunye uxwebhu olubhaliweyo kukuba abafazi abakhulelweyo banokudlulisela usulelo kwimveku yabo.

I-Lyme kunye nonyango lwayo yimixholo enokuphikisana. Olunye uphando kunye nenkxaso mali ziyafuneka.

Ukuba ukrokrela ukuba uneLyme, bona ugqirha, ngokukhethekileyo lowo unamava kaLyme. Umbutho weLyme wamanye amazwe kunye noMbutho weZifo eziDibeneyo (i-ILADS) ungabonelela ngoluhlu loogqirha abanolwazi ngeLyme kwindawo yakho.
