I-Psittacosis

I-Psittacosis yisifo esibangelwa Chlamydophila psittaci, uhlobo lwamabhaktheriya atholakala kubobhuku bezinyoni. Izinyoni zisabalalisa ukutheleleka kubantu.

Ukutheleleka kwe-Psittacosis kuyenzeka uma uphefumulela (ukuhogela) amagciwane. Abantu abaphakathi kweminyaka engama-30 kuye kwengu-60 bavame ukuthinteka.

Abantu abasengozini enkulu yalesi sifo bahlanganisa:

• Abanikazi bezinyoni
• Abasebenzi bezitolo ezifuywayo
• Abantu abasebenza ezindaweni zokucubungula izinkukhu
• Odokotela bezilwane

Izinyoni ezijwayelekile ezihilelekile ngopholi, ama-parakeet, nama-budgerigars, yize ezinye izinyoni nazo zibangele lesi sifo.

I-Psittacosis yisifo esingajwayelekile. Ambalwa kakhulu amacala abikwa minyaka yonke e-United States.

Isikhathi sokufukamela se-psittacosis sinezinsuku ezi-5 kuya kwezingu-15. Isikhathi sokufukamela yisikhathi esisithathayo sokuthi izimpawu zivele ngemuva kokuvezwa amagciwane.

Izimpawu zingafaka:

• Isikhwehlela esinegazi
• Ukukhwehlela okomile
• Ukukhathala
• Umkhuhlane namakhaza
• Ubuhlungu bekhanda
• Izinhlungu ezihlangene
• Ubuhlungu bemisipha (imvamisa ekhanda nasentanyeni)
• Ukuphelelwa umoya
• Uhudo
• Ukuvuvukala ngemuva komphimbo (pharyngitis)
• Ukuvuvukala kwesibindi
• Ukudideka

Umhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo uzozwa imisindo yamaphaphu engajwayelekile njengokuqhekeka nokwehlisa imisindo yokuphefumula lapho elalele isifuba nge-stethoscope.

Ukuhlolwa okungenziwa kufaka phakathi:

• I-antibody titer (ukukhuphuka kwe-titer ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kuwuphawu lokutheleleka)
• Isiko legazi
• Isiko lesikhohlela
• I-X-ray yesifuba
• Qedela ukubalwa kwegazi
• I-CT scan yesifuba

Ukutheleleka kulashwa ngama-antibiotic. I-Doxycycline isetshenziswa kuqala. Amanye ama-antibiotic anganikezwa afaka:

• Macrolides
• Ama-fluoroquinolones
• Amanye ama-antibiotic e-tetracycline

Qaphela: I-Tetracycline ne-doxycycline ngomlomo ngokuvamile ayinikezwa izingane kuze kube yilapho onke amazinyo azo aqala ukukhula, ngoba angakwazi ukuwaguqula unomphela amazinyo asakhiwa. Le mithi ayinikezwa abesifazane abakhulelwe. Amanye ama-antibiotic asetshenziswa kulezi zimo.

Ukululama okugcwele kulindeleke uma ungenayo eminye imibandela ethinta impilo yakho.

Izinkinga ze-psittacosis zingafaka:

• Ukubandakanyeka kobuchopho
• Ukwehla komsebenzi wamaphaphu ngenxa yenyumoniya
• Ukutheleleka kwe-valve yenhliziyo
• Ukuvuvukala kwesibindi (hepatitis)

Ama-antibiotic ayadingeka ukuphatha lesi sifo. Uma uthuthukisa izimpawu ze-psittacosis, shayela umhlinzeki wakho.

Gwema ukuvezwa izinyoni ezingase zithwale la magciwane, njengopholi. Izinkinga zezokwelapha eziholela kumasosha omzimba abuthakathaka zandisa ubungozi balesi sifo futhi kufanele ziphathwe ngendlela efanele.

• Amaphaphu
• Uhlelo lokuphefumula
