UHillary Clinton uphume ngendlela emangalisayo emcimbini wesikhumbuzo sika-9/11 ngeSonto, ekhubekile futhi edinga usizo lokungena emotweni yakhe. Ekuqaleni, abantu babecabanga ukuthi unqotshwe yisimo sezulu esishisayo nesinomswakama eNew York City, kodwa kwabuye kwembulwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ukuthi lowo owayephakanyiswe ukuba ngumongameli weDemocratic Alliance empeleni wayehlaselwa yinyumoniya.

NgeSonto kusihlwa, udokotela kaClinton uLisa R. Bardack, M.D., ukhiphe isitatimende esithi uClinton utholwe enenyumoniya ngoLwesihlanu. “Wafakwa ama-antibiotics, welulekwa ukuthi aphumule futhi alungise uhlelo lwakhe,” kubhala udokotela.

Lokhu ngempela kunazo zonke izimpawu zecala elivamile "lenyumoniya ehambayo" kusho u-Chadi Hage, M.D., udokotela wamaphaphu kanye nochwepheshe wokunakekelwa okubucayi ovela ku-IU Health. Izimpawu ze-pneumonia zifaka ukukhwehlela okuvame ukukhiqiza i-phlegm eluhlaza noma ephuzi, ubuhlungu besifuba, ukukhathala, umkhuhlane, ubuthakathaka, nenkinga yokuphefumula. Iziguli ezine- "pneumonia ehamba ngezinyawo" ziba nezimpawu ezifanayo, kepha ngokuvamile azithambile. Ngenkathi inyumoniya egcwele yonke indawo yaziwa ngokuthumela abantu emibhedeni yabo noma esibhedlela, ezinye iziguli zisakwazi ukusebenza ngandlela thize, kungakho i-moniker "ehambayo".

“Kuyisifo sangempela,” kusho uHage, “kodwa abantu abanalesi simo abaguli kakhulu.” Ngeshwa, nokho, lokhu kungabangela izinkinga ezengeziwe njengoba ukuhamba kwazo kungase kubambezele ukululama kwazo.

"I-pneumonia iyimbangela yokufa ehlobene kakhulu nezifo ezithathelwanayo emhlabeni wonke, ebulala cishe izingane eziyizigidi ezi-1 ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-5 kanye nabantu abangaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-20 abaneminyaka engaphezu kwengama-65 ubudala," kusho uRicardo Jorge Paixao Jose, MD, oyisifo sokuphefumula uchwepheshe e-University College eLondon. Lapho eneminyaka engama-68, lokhu kwenza uClinton abe yisisulu esikhulu salesi sifo. Odokotela batusa ukuthola umgomo we-pneumococcal kubantu abaneminyaka engu-65 noma ngaphezulu.

Noma kunjalo, inyumoniya iyisifo esivame kakhulu esingathinta noma ubani. "Akuvamisile ukukhomba ezinye izimo," kusho uHage, eqinisekisa abantu abakhathazekile ukuthi lokhu kuwuphawu olukhulu lwempilo kaClinton okungenzeka ibe buthaka. Asikho isizathu sokukholelwa ukuthi lokhu kungaphezu kwesenzakalo esizimele.

Kodwa ngaphandle kokunikeza imithi efanelekile-imithi elwa namagciwane yokutheleleka kwamagciwane noma imishanguzo yegciwane lesandulela ngculaza - akuningi odokotela abangakwenza ngaphandle kokukhuthaza ukuphumula nokunisela, kusho uHage. Kuthatha isilinganiso sezinsuku ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisikhombisa ukusula ukutheleleka, yize izimpawu ezifana nokukhwehlela okuncane kungahlala isikhathi eside. Ngakho-ke, ochwepheshe balindele ukuthi uClinton azizwe engcono kungakapheli isonto.

Kepha wena? Thola umuthi wokugomela umkhuhlane njalo ngonyaka; Umkhuhlane uyimbangela evame kakhulu yenyumoniya. (Bheka futhi: Ingabe Ngidinga Ngempela Ukuthola Umkhuhlane Womkhuhlane?)
