Isishwankathelo

UZika yintsholongwane esasazeka ikakhulu ziingcongconi. Umama okhulelweyo angayidlulisela kusana lwakhe ngexesha lokukhulelwa okanye ngexesha lokuzalwa. Ingasasazeka ngokudibana ngokwesondo. Kukwakho neengxelo zokuba intsholongwane iye yanwenwa ngokutofelwa igazi. Kubekho ukuqhekeka kwentsholongwane yeZika eUnited States, eAfrika, eMzantsi-mpuma Asia, kwiiPacific Islands, kwiindawo zeCaribbean, nakuMbindi nakuMzantsi Merika.

Uninzi lwabantu abafumana le ntsholongwane abaguli. Umntu omnye kwabahlanu ufumana iimpawu, ezinokubandakanya umkhuhlane, irhashalala, iintlungu ezidibeneyo, kunye nokudibana (iliso elipinki). Iimpawu zihlala zithambile, kwaye ziqala iintsuku ezi-2 ukuya kwezi-7 emva kokulunywa yingcongconi esulelekileyo.

Uvavanyo lwegazi lunokuxela ukuba ngaba usulelekile na. Akukho zitofu okanye amayeza okuyinyanga. Ukusela amanzi amaninzi, ukuphumla, kunye nokuthatha i-acetaminophen kunokunceda.

I-Zika inokubangela i-microcephaly (isiphene esibi sokuzalwa kwengqondo) kunye nezinye iingxaki kwiintsana ezinomama abosulelekileyo ngelixa bekhulelwe. Amaziko oLawulo lweNtsholongwane kunye noThintelo acebisa ukuba abasetyhini abakhulelweyo bangahambi kwiindawo apho kuqhambuke intsholongwane iZika. Ukuba uthatha isigqibo sokuhamba, qala uthethe nogqirha wakho. Kuya kufuneka ulumkele ukuthintela ukulunywa ziingcongconi:

• Sebenzisa izinto ezigxotha izinambuzane
• Nxiba iimpahla ezigqume iingalo, imilenze neenyawo
• Hlala kwiindawo ezinomoya opholileyo okanye ezisebenzisa iifestile kunye nezikrini zomnyango
