Yaws

I-Yaws yisifo sesikhathi eside (esingapheli) sokutheleleka kwebhaktheriya okuthinta kakhulu isikhumba, amathambo namalunga.

I-Yaws ukutheleleka okubangelwa uhlobo lwe- I-Treponema pallidum amagciwane. Kusondelene kakhulu negciwane elibanga ugcunsula, kodwa lolu hlobo lwegciwane aludluliswanga ngocansi. Ama-Yaw athinta kakhulu izingane ezisemakhaya, ezifudumele, ezindaweni ezishisayo, njenge-Afrika, iziqhingi zaseNtshonalanga Pacific, kanye naseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia.

Imihlathi idluliselwa ngokuthintana ngqo nezilonda zesikhumba zabantu abanegciwane.

Cishe emasontweni amabili kuya kwamane emva kokutheleleka, lo muntu uba nesilonda esibizwa ngokuthi "ngumama ukuzamula" lapho amabhaktheriya angene khona esikhunjeni. Isilonda kungenzeka sibe sesikhumba noma sibe bomvu futhi sibukeke njenge-raspberry. Imvamisa ayinabuhlungu, kepha ibangela ukulunywa.

Izilonda zingahlala izinyanga. Izilonda eziningi zingavela ngaphambi nje noma ngemuva kokuba umama ezamule. Ukunwaya isilonda kungasabalalisa amabhaktheriya asuka kunyoko kanina aye esikhunjeni esingenalo igciwane. Ekugcineni, izilonda zesikhumba ziyaphola.

Ezinye izimpawu zifaka:

• Ubuhlungu bamathambo
• Ukuqhuma kwesikhumba
• Ukuvuvukala kwamathambo neminwe

Esigabeni esithuthukile, izilonda esikhumbeni nasemathanjeni zingaholela ekukhubazekeni okukhulu nokukhubazeka. Lokhu kwenzeka kubantu abafinyelela kwabangu-5 kwabangatholi ukwelashwa ngama-antibiotic.

Isampula ephuma esikhunjeni sesikhumba iyahlolwa ngaphansi kohlobo olukhethekile lwe-microscope (ukuhlolwa kwendawo emnyama).

Akukho ukuhlolwa kwegazi kwama-yws. Kodwa-ke, ukuhlolwa kwegazi logcunsula kuvame ukuba kuhle kubantu abane-yaws ngoba amabhaktheriya abangela lezi zimo ezimbili ahlobene kakhulu.

Ukwelashwa kuhilela umthamo owodwa we-penicillin, noma imithamo emi-3 yamasonto onke yesifo sesigaba esizayo. Akuvamile ukuthi lesi sifo sibuye.

Abantu abahlala endlini eyodwa nomuntu onalesi sifo kufanele bahlolwe ukuzamula bese belashwa uma bethelelekile.

Uma welashwa kusaqalwa, i-yaws iyelapheka. Izilonda zesikhumba kungathatha izinyanga ezimbalwa ukuphola.

Ngesikhathi sayo sekwephuzile, kungenzeka ukuthi i-yaws isivele idale umonakalo esikhunjeni nasemathanjeni. Kungase kungaguquguquki ngokuphelele, noma ngabe ukwelashwa.

Imihlathi ingalimaza isikhumba namathambo. Kungathinta ukubukeka komuntu nokukwazi ukunyakaza. Kungadala nokukhubazeka kwemilenze, impumulo, ulwanga, nomhlathi ongaphezulu.

Xhumana nomhlinzeki wakho wezempilo uma:

• Wena noma ingane yakho inezilonda esikhunjeni noma ethanjeni ezingapheli.
• Uhlale ezindaweni ezishisayo lapho okwaziwa khona ngama-yaws.
