ITrachoma

I-Trachoma ukutheleleka kweso okubangelwa amagciwane abizwa nge-chlamydia.

I-trachoma ibangelwa ukutheleleka ngamagciwane I-Chlamydia trachomatis.

Isimo senzeka emhlabeni jikelele. Kuvame ukubonakala ezindaweni zasemakhaya zamazwe asathuthuka. Izingane zivame ukuthinteka. Kodwa-ke, ukusikeka okubangelwa ukutheleleka kungahle kungabonwa kuze kube sekugcineni empilweni. Isimo asivamile e-United States. Kodwa-ke, kungenzeka ukuthi kwenzeke ezimweni zokuphila eziminyene noma ezingcolile.

I-trachoma isakazwa ngokuthintana ngqo nesifo segciwane, iso, amakhala, noma umphimbo. Ingadluliselwa futhi ngokuthintana nezinto ezingcolile, njengamathawula noma izingubo. Izimpukane ezithile nazo zingasabalalisa amagciwane.

Izimpawu ziqala ezinsukwini ezinhlanu kuya kweziyi-12 ngemuva kokuvezwa amagciwane. Isimo siqala kancane. Kuqala ukuvela njengokuvuvukala kwezicubu ezigcwele amajwabu amehlo (i-conjunctivitis, noma "iso elibomvana"). Ukungalashwa, lokhu kungaholela ekulimaleni.

Izimpawu zingafaka:

• I-cornea enamafu
• Ukukhishwa esweni
• Ukuvuvukala kwama-lymph node ngaphambi kwezindlebe
• Izinkophe ezivuvukile
• I-eyelashes evuliwe

Umhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwempilo uzokwenza ukuhlolwa kwamehlo ukuze abheke isibazi ngaphakathi kwesembozo seso esingenhla, ubomvu bengxenye emhlophe yamehlo, nokukhula komthambo wegazi omusha ku-cornea.

Ukuhlolwa kwamalebhu kuyadingeka ukukhomba amagciwane nokwenza ukuxilongwa okunembile.

Ama-antibiotic angavimbela izinkinga zesikhathi eside uma zisetshenziswa ekuqaleni kokutheleleka. Kwezinye izimo, ukuhlinzekwa kwejwabu leso kungadingeka ukuvimbela ukubola kwesikhathi eside, okungaholela ekuphuphuthekiseni uma kungalungiswa.

Imiphumela mihle kakhulu uma ukwelashwa kuqalwa kusenesikhathi ngaphambi kokulimala futhi kuguquke nezinkophe.

Uma amajwabu amehlo ecasuka kakhulu, amajwabu amehlo angahle aphenduke futhi akhuhlane ne-cornea. Lokhu kungadala izilonda ze-corneal, izibazi ezengeziwe, ukulahleka kombono, futhi mhlawumbe, nobumpumputhe.

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho uma wena noma ingane yakho usanda kuvakashela indawo lapho i-trachoma ijwayelekile futhi ubona izimpawu ze-conjunctivitis.

Ukusabalala kwesifo kunganqunyelwe ngokugeza izandla nobuso kaningi, ukugcina izingubo zihlanzekile, nokungabelani ngezinto ezifana namathawula.

I-conjunctivitis eyimbudumbudu; I-ophthalmia yaseGibhithe; I-conjunctivitis - imbudumbudu; I-conjunctivitis - i-chlamydia
