Thika ukuluma

Ukulunywa ngophawu kuyaziwa ukuthi kubanga isifo seLyme, kepha futhi kungadlulisa isimo esibizwa nge-ehrlichiosis.

I-Ehrlichiosis yisifo esibangelwa amagciwane esidala izimpawu ezinjengomkhuhlane ezibandakanya umkhuhlane nezinhlungu. Kungadala izinkinga ezinkulu kakhulu uma kushiywe kungalashwa. Kepha kungalapheka ngokwelashwa ngokushesha.

I-Ehrlichiosis ivame ukubangelwa ukulunywa ngumkhaza wenkanyezi owodwa onegciwane, yize ingadluliselwa futhi ngemikhaza yenja noma imikhaza yezinyamazane. Imikhaza yezinkanyezi ezizodwa yande kakhulu eningizimu mpumalanga naseningizimu maphakathi ne-United States, kanye nase-East Coast. Abesifazane banendawo emhlophe emhlane.

Izithombe ze-ehrlichiosis

Ziyini izimpawu ze-ehrlichiosis?

Abantu abaningi abane-ehrlichiosis bacabanga ukuthi banomkhuhlane noma umkhuhlane wesisu. Izimpawu ezivame kakhulu yilezi:

• Ukugodola
• imfiva
• ubuhlungu bemisipha
• ikhanda
• ukugula okuvamile
• isicanucanu
• isifo sohudo

Ingxenye encane kuphela yabantu abane-ehrlichiosis ezobhekana nanoma yiluphi uhlobo lokuqubuka. Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zokuqubuka okungenzeka ngalesi simo:

• ukuqubuka kwesikhumba, okuyizindawo ezincane ezinamaphini okubangelwa ukopha ngaphansi kwesikhumba
• imishubhu eyisicaba, ebomvu

Izimpawu ze-ehrlichiosis ziyefana neRocky Mountain Spotted Fever, okunye ukugula okuthwalwa imikhaza. Kodwa-ke, i-Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever kungenzeka ukuthi idale ukuqubuka.

Izimpawu zivame ukuqala phakathi kwezinsuku eziyi-7 no-14 ngemuva kokulunywa umkhaza, noma ngabe abanye abantu abaze babone ukuthi bathathwe umkhaza.

Uma ubona umkhaza:

Isuse ngokucophelela futhi ngokunensa kakhulu, uqiniseke ukuthi uyibamba isondele ekhanda ngangokunokwenzeka ukuze kungabi bikho ingxenye yayo esele emzimbeni wakho. Yibulale ngokuyibeka ekukhucululeni utshwala. Ungalokothi uyichoboze futhi ugweme ukuyithinta ngisho nangeminwe yakho, ngoba lokhu kukodwa kungasabalalisa izifo ezibangelwa amagciwane. Ungayifaka ku-notecard ukuze udokotela wakho akwazi ukuyihlola ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uma kudingeka.

Uyini umehluko phakathi kwe-ehrlichiosis ne-anaplasmosis?

Umkhaza wenkanyezi uwodwa ungadala futhi okunye ukutheleleka okubizwa nge-anaplasmosis. Izimpawu ze-anaplasmosis ziyefana kakhulu ne-ehrlichiosis. Umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwezifo ezimbili ukuthi i-ehrlichiosis ibangelwa E. chaffeensis amagciwane. I-Anaplasmosis ibangelwa I-Anaplasma phagocytophilum amagciwane.

Ihlonza kanjani i-ehrlichiosis?

Uma ulunywe wumkhaza futhi uhlangabezana nezimpawu ezinjengomkhuhlane noma uqaphela ukuqubuka, yenza isikhathi sokubonana nodokotela wakho khona manjalo. Udokotela wakho angakuhlolela i-ehrlichiosis nezinye izimo eziyingozi ezibangelwa imikhaza, njengesifo seLyme.

Udokotela wakho uzohlola indawo lapho kulunywa khona umkhaza abuze ukuthi yiziphi izimpawu ohlangabezana nazo. Bazothatha umfutho wegazi lakho bese ba-oda ukuhlolwa kwegazi ukuhlola izimpawu zokutheleleka ngamagciwane. Lezi zimpawu zingafaka ukubalwa kwamaseli egazi amhlophe aphansi kanye nenani eliphansi lama-platelet, kanye nokuba khona kwama-antibodies athile.

Umsebenzi wegazi ungabuye uhlolisise umsebenzi wakho wezinso nowesibindi ukucinga izinkinga.

Ngabe i-ehrlichiosis ingadala ezinye izimo?

Ngisho nakumuntu ophile kahle kakhulu (kokubili abantu abadala nezingane), i-ehrlichiosis ingaba nemiphumela emibi kakhulu uma ingalashwa. Ingozi yalezi zinkinga inyuka kakhulu kulabo abanamasosha omzimba abuthakathaka.

Lezi zinkinga zingabandakanya:

• ukwehluleka komzimba, kufaka phakathi ukwehluleka kwezinso nesibindi
• ukwehluleka ukuphefumula
• ukuhluleka kwenhliziyo
• ukuwela kwikhoma
• isithuthwane

Yize eziningi zalezi zinkinga zingelashwa uma zibanjwe kusenesikhathi ngokwanele, kungenzeka zingaphindeki. Yize kungavamile ngokweqile, abantu bangafa nge-ehrlichiosis.

Yelashwa kanjani i-ehrlichiosis?

Udokotela wakho angakunikeza imithi ngaphambi kokuba bathole nemiphumela yokuhlolwa uma besola i-ehrlichiosis.

Ukwelashwa kuzobandakanya ukuthatha i-antibiotic izinsuku eziyi-10 kuya kwezingu-14. IDoxycycline (Acticlate) iyimithi elwa namagciwane evame kakhulu ukunikezwa i-ehrlichiosis. Kodwa-ke, udokotela wakho angakunikeza enye i-antibiotic efana ne-rifampin (i-Rifadin) uma ukhulelwe.

Uyini umbono we-ehrlichiosis?

Ukwelashwa ngokushesha kwe-ehrlichiosis kubalulekile ngoba izinkinga ezinzima zingenzeka uma iyekwa ingalashwa. Iningi labantu lizokwelashwa ngokuphelele ngama-antibiotic ayindilinga. Kufanele uqale ukubona ukuthuthuka okukhulu phakathi kwamahora angama-24 kuya kwangu-48 ngemuva kokuqala ukwelashwa. Abantu abaningi bazothola ukululama okugcwele kungakapheli amasonto amathathu belashwa.

Ukubheja kwakho okuhle ukuvikela i-ehrlichiosis kanye nokulunywa umkhaza ngokuphelele. Uma wazi ukuthi uzoba sendaweni enemikhaza, zijwayeze izindlela zokuvimbela imikhaza ukuzigcina zikude nawe nomndeni wakho.
