Yintoni ipertussis?

I-Pertussis, edla ngokubizwa ngokuba ngumkhuhlane, ibangelwa yintsholongwane. Sisifo esosulelayo esisasazeka ngokulula ukusuka emntwini kuye kumntu ngeentsholongwane zomoya ezisuka empumlweni nasemqaleni. Ngelixa iintsana zinethuba elikhulu lokufumana ukukhwehlela, isifo sinokungenwa nangaliphi na ubudala.

Iimpawu kunye neempawu

Ngokubanzi, ukukhwehlela kuqala ukuqala njengomkhuhlane oqhelekileyo. Iimpawu zingabandakanya ukuphuma kwempumlo, umkhuhlane osezantsi, ukudinwa, kunye nokukhohlela kancinci okanye ngamanye amaxesha.

Ngexesha elide, ukukhwehlela kuya kuba nzima. Ukukhohlela kunokuhlala iiveki ezininzi, ngamanye amaxesha iiveki ezili-10 okanye ngaphezulu. Izifundo zesayensi zibonisa ukuba ukuya kuthi kanti kukho ukukhwehlela okungaphezulu kweeveki ezimbini okanye ezintathu kunokuba ne-pertussis.

Ubungqongqo beempawu zokwahluka kubantu abadala. Iimpawu zihlala zincinci kakhulu kubantu abadala abafumene ukhuseleko ngokuchasene nokukhwehlela kokugonywa kwangaphambili okanye usulelo.

Iimpawu ze-pertussis kubantu abadala zingabandakanya:

• ixesha elide, ukukhwehlela okuqatha, kulandele ukukhefuzela
• ukugabha emva kokukhohlela kuhambelana
• ukudinwa emva kokukhohlela kufaneleka

Uphawu lwe “whoop” oluqhelekileyo sisandi esitswina kakhulu esenza xa umntu ephefumla nzima emva kokuhlaselwa sisikhohlela. Olu phawu lusenokungabikho kubantu abadala abanesikhohlela.

Amanqanaba

Ihlala ithatha malunga neentsuku ezisixhenxe ukuya kwi-10 emva kokuvezwa kusulelo ukuqala ukubonisa iimpawu. Ukuchacha okupheleleyo kwisifo sokukhohlela kungathabatha iinyanga ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu. Oogqirha bahlukanisa ukukhwehlela kwi:

Inqanaba 1: Isigaba sokuqala sokukhwehlela sinokuhlala kwiiveki ezimbini. Ngeli xesha, iimpawu ziyafana nokubanda okuqhelekileyo. Usasazeka kakhulu ngeli xesha.

Inqanaba 2: Amandla amakhulu, okhohlela okomeleleyo akhula ngeli nqanaba. Phakathi kokukhwehlela, abantu bahlala bephefumla, bethambisa amathe, kwaye beenyembezi. Ukuphalaza nokudinwa kunokulandela ukukhwehlela okunzima. Eli nqanaba lihlala iiveki enye ukuya kwezintandathu, kodwa inokuhlala kangangeeveki ezili-10.Uhlala usasazeka de kube ziiveki ezimbini emva kokukhohlela.

Inqanaba 3: Kule nqanaba, ukukhwehlela kuqala ukunciphisa. Awusosuleli ngeli xesha. Eli nqanaba lihlala iiveki ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu. Ngenxa yokuba usengozini yokufumana ezinye izifo zokuphefumla, kubandakanya ukubanda okuqhelekileyo, ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo kungathatha ixesha elide xa kusenzeka ezinye izifo.

Iingxaki

Ngelixa abantwana abancinci kunokwenzeka ukuba babe neengxaki ezivela kwi-pertussis kunabantu abadala, ezinye iingxaki zisenokwenzeka kubantu abadala.

Ngokwe-American Academy yoGqirha boSapho kunye namaZiko oLawulo lweNtsholongwane kunye noThintelo (CDC), abantu abadala abanesifo esinganyangekiyo sokukhohlela banokufumana:

• ukuhla ukusinda
• ukungabikho komchamo okanye iingozi zangasese
• ukukrala kwemiphunga
• uqhekeko lweembambo ngenxa yokukhwehlela
• ukungabikho kokulala

Uthintelo

Eyona ndlela yokuthintela ukukhwehlela kukugonywa. I-Tdap, i-pertussis booster shot, iyacetyiswa kubantu abadala abangagonywanga endaweni ye-Td (tetanus kunye ne-diphtheria) yabo elandelayo, enikwa rhoqo emva kweminyaka eli-10.

Ukusebenza kwezitofu zokugonya kuyehla ngokuhamba kwexesha. Abantu abadala abagonyelwe i-pertussis njengabantwana banokufumana ukukhwehlela njengoko ukukhuseleka kwabo, okanye ukukhuselwa kwesi sifo, kuqala ukuphela.

Yenza idinga ukubona umboneleli wakho wezononophelo lwempilo ukuba ucinga ukuba unokudibana nomntu onesikhohlela, nokuba awukhange uvelise ukukhwehlela okungapheliyo.

Uxilongo kunye nonyango

Oogqirha bahlala bechonga ukukhwehlela ngokuthatha i-swab ye-mucus ngasemva komqala okanye impumlo. Banokuyalela ukuba kuvavanywe igazi.

Unyango lwakwangoko lubalulekile, kuba lunokunceda ukuthintela ukusasazeka kwesifo kwabanye abantu, ngakumbi iintsana, ezisengozini yokugula.

Ukukhwehlela kuqhele ukunyangwa ngamayeza okubulala iintsholongwane, anokunceda ukunciphisa ubunzima okanye ubude bexesha elithathwayo ukubuyela kwimeko yesi sifo. Nangona kunjalo, ii-antibiotics azinakunceda ukuba ukukhwehlela kuqhubekeke ngaphezulu kweeveki ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu.

Ukuthatha amayeza okukhohlela mhlawumbi akunakunceda ukunciphisa iimpawu. Icebisa ngokuchasene nokusela iyeza lokukhohlela ngaphandle kokuba uyalelwe ngugqirha.
