Uhlobo oluvame kakhulu, i-bacterial endocarditis, lwenzeka lapho amagciwane engena enhliziyweni yakho. La magciwane eza ngokuhamba kwegazi lakho kusuka kolunye uhlangothi lomzimba wakho, imvamisa umlomo wakho. I-endocarditis yebhaktheriya ingalimaza ama-valve enhliziyo yakho. Uma ingalashwa, ingasongela impilo. Akuvamile ezinhliziyweni ezinempilo.

Izici zobungozi zibandakanya ukuba ne-

• Isivalo senhliziyo esingajwayelekile noma esonakele
• I-valve yenhliziyo yokufakelwa
• Ukukhubazeka kwenhliziyo okuzalwa

Izimpawu nezimpawu ze-IE zingahluka kuye ngomuntu nomuntu. Futhi zingahluka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kumuntu ofanayo. Izimpawu ongazibona zifaka phakathi umkhuhlane, ukuphefumula okuncane, ukwanda koketshezi ezingalweni noma emilenzeni, amabala amancane abomvu esikhunjeni sakho, nokuncipha komzimba. Udokotela wakho uzoxilonga i-IE ngokuya ngezici zakho zobungozi, umlando wezokwelapha, izimpawu nezimpawu, nokuhlolwa kwebhu nenhliziyo.

Ukwelashwa kusenesikhathi kungakusiza ugweme izinkinga. Ukwelashwa kuvame ukubandakanya ama-antibiotic aphezulu. Uma i-valve yenhliziyo yakho ilimele, ungadinga ukuhlinzwa.

Uma usengozini ye-IE, xubha bese uphonsa amazinyo akho njalo, futhi uhlolwe njalo ngamazinyo. Amagciwane avela ekungenweni yizinsini angangena egazini lakho. Uma usengozini enkulu, udokotela wakho angakunika ama-antibiotic ngaphambi komsebenzi wamazinyo nezinhlobo ezithile zokuhlinzwa.
