Yini ukuhlolwa kweLegionella?

ILegionella uhlobo lwamagciwane olungadala uhlobo olunzima lwe-pneumonia olwaziwa ngokuthi isifo seLegionnaires. Ukuhlolwa kweLegionella kubheka lawa magciwane kumchamo, isikhwehlela, noma igazi. Isifo iLegionnaires ’sathola igama laso ngo-1976 ngemuva kokuba iqembu labantu elalihambele umhlangano wase-American Legion lagula i-pneumonia.

Amabhaktheriya eLegionella nawo angadala ukugula okufana nomkhuhlane okuthiwa yiPontiac fever. Ngokubambisana, isifo seLegionnaires kanye nePontiac fever kwaziwa njengeLegionellosis.

Amabhaktheriya eLegionella atholakala ngokwemvelo ezindaweni ezinamanzi ahlanzekile. Kodwa amabhaktheriya angenza abantu bagule lapho ekhula futhi esakazeka ezinhlelweni zamanzi ezenziwe ngabantu. Lokhu kufaka phakathi izinhlelo zamapayipi ezakhiwo ezinkulu, kufaka phakathi amahhotela, izibhedlela, amakhaya asebekhulile, nemikhumbi yokuhamba. Ama-bacterium angabe esengcolisa imithombo yamanzi, njengamabhavu ashisayo, imithombo, nezinhlelo zokupholisa umoya.

Ukutheleleka kweLegionellosis kwenzeka lapho abantu bephefumula inkungu noma amaconsi amancane amanzi aqukethe amabhaktheriya. Amagciwane awasabalaliseli ukusuka kumuntu kuye komunye umuntu. Kepha ukuqubuka kwesifo kungenzeka lapho abantu abaningi bevezwa emthonjeni ofanayo wamanzi ongcolile.

Akuwona wonke umuntu odalulwe amagciwane eLegionella azogula. Kungenzeka ukuthi uthuthukise ukutheleleka wena:

• Ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-50
• Umuntu obhemayo njengamanje noma wangaphambili
• Yiba nesifo esingelapheki njengesifo sikashukela noma ukwehluleka kwezinso
• Yiba namasosha omzimba abuthakathaka ngenxa yesifo esinjenge-HIV / AIDS noma umdlavuza, noma uthatha imithi ecindezela amasosha omzimba

Ngenkathi umkhuhlane wePontiac uvame ukuzikhulula wodwa, isifo seLegionnaires singabulala uma singelashwa. Abantu abaningi bazolulama uma belashwa ngokushesha ngama-antibiotic.

Amanye amagama: Ukuhlolwa kwezifo zeLegionnaires, ukuhlolwa kweLegionellosis

Zisetshenziselwani?

Ukuhlolwa kweLegionella kusetshenziselwa ukuthola ukuthi unaso yini isifo seLegionnaires. Ezinye izifo zamaphaphu zinezimpawu ezifana nesifo seLegionnaires. Ukuthola ukuxilongwa nokwelashwa okulungile kungasiza ekuvimbeleni izinkinga ezisongela impilo.

Kungani ngidinga ukuhlolwa kweLegionella?

Ungahle udinge lokhu kuhlolwa uma unezimpawu zesifo seLegionnaires. Izimpawu zivame ukukhombisa izinsuku ezimbili kuya kwezingu-10 ngemuva kokuchayeka kubhaktheriya beLegionella futhi zingafaka:

• Khwehlela
• Umkhuhlane omkhulu
• Amakhaza
• Ubuhlungu bekhanda
• Ubuhlungu besifuba
• Ukuphelelwa umoya
• Ukukhathala
• Isicanucanu nokuhlanza
• Uhudo

Kwenzekani ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kweLegionella?

Ukuhlolwa kweLegionella kungenziwa kumchamo, isikhwehlela, noma igazi.

Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa komchamo:

Uzodinga ukusebenzisa indlela "yokubamba ehlanzekile" ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isampula lakho liyinyumba. Indlela yokubamba ehlanzekile ifaka izinyathelo ezilandelayo:

• Geza izandla zakho.
• Hlanza isitho sakho sangasese ngephedi yokuhlanza.
• Qala ukuchama ungene endlini encane.
• Hambisa isitsha sokuqoqa ngaphansi kokusakaza kwakho komchamo.
• Qoqa okungenani i-ounce noma amabili umchamo ungene esitsheni, okufanele ube nomaka okhombisa inani.
• Qeda ukuchama ungene endlini encane.
• Buyisela isitsha sesampula njengokuyalelwa ngumhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo.

Isikhohlela wuhlobo lwamafinyila olujiyile olwenziwe emaphashini akho uma unesifo.

Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kwesikhwehlela:

• Umhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo uzokucela ukuthi uphefumule kakhulu bese ukhwehlela ngokujulile enkomishini ekhethekile.
• Umhlinzeki wakho angakuthinta esifubeni ukusiza ukukhulula isikhwehlela emaphashini akho.
• Uma unenkinga yokukhwehlela isikhwehlela esanele, umhlinzeki wakho angakucela ukuthi uphefumule inkungu enosawoti engakusiza ukukhwehlela ngokujulile.

Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kwegazi:

Uchwepheshe wezempilo uzothatha isampula yegazi emthanjeni osengalweni yakho, esebenzisa inaliti encane. Ngemuva kokuthi kufakwe inaliti, kuzoqoqwa inani elincane legazi kufakwe ithubhu yokuhlola noma isitsha. Ungase uzizwe uluma kancane lapho inaliti ingena noma iphuma. Lokhu ngokuvamile kuthatha imizuzu engaphansi kwemihlanu.

Ngabe kukhona engizodinga ukukwenza ukulungiselela isivivinyo?

Awudingi amalungiselelo akhethekile wokuhlolwa kweLegionella.

Ingabe zikhona izingozi esivivinyweni?

Ayikho ingozi yokunikeza isampula yomchamo noma isikhwehlela. Kunengozi encane kakhulu yokuhlolwa kwegazi. Ungaba nobuhlungu obuncane noma ukulimaza lapho kufakwe khona inaliti, kepha izimpawu eziningi ziyaphela ngokushesha.

Isho ukuthini imiphumela?

Uma imiphumela yakho ibitholile, mhlawumbe kusho ukuthi unesifo seLegionnaires. Uma imiphumela yakho ibingeyinhle, kungasho ukuthi unolunye uhlobo lokutheleleka. Kungasho nokuthi akutholanga amagciwane weLegionella anele kusampula sakho.

Uma unemibuzo ngemiphumela yakho, khuluma nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo.

Funda kabanzi mayelana nokuhlolwa kwelabhorethri, ububanzi bezinkomba, nemiphumela yokuqonda.

Ngabe kukhona okunye engidinga ukukwazi mayelana nokuhlolwa kweLegionella?

Kungakhathalekile ukuthi imiphumela yakho ibiyivende noma iyimbi, umhlinzeki wakho angenza ezinye izivivinyo ukuze aqinisekise noma anqande ukutholakala kwesifo seLegionnaires. Lokhu kufaka phakathi:

• Ama-X-Rays esifubeni
• I-Gram Stain
• Ukuhlolwa kwe-Acid Fast Bacillus (AFB)
• Isiko Lamagciwane
• Amasiko Esikhohlela
• Iphaneli yamagciwane okuphefumula
