Ubhadane lweZika e-U.S. Lungaba lubi kakhulu kunendlela esasicabanga ngayo, ngokwemibiko yakamuva evela ezikhulwini. Ishaya ngokusemthethweni abesifazane abakhulelwe-ngokusobala iqembu elisengozini kakhulu-ngendlela enkulu. (Udinga ukuvuselelwa? Izinto Ezi-7 Okufanele Uzazi Ngegciwane Le-Zika.)

NgoLwesihlanu, i-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) imemezele ukuthi abesifazane abangu-279 abakhulelwe e-United States kanye nezindawo zayo baqinisekise ukuthi amacala eZika-157 amacala abikiwe asezwenikazi lase-United States kanti angu-122 abikwa ezindaweni zase-US njenge E-Puerto Rico.

Le mibiko ibalulekile (futhi iyesabeka) ngezindlela ezimbalwa. Lokhu kubalwa kungokokuqala ukuthi kufakwe bonke abesifazane abathola isiqinisekiso esisemthethweni selabhoratri ngegciwane iZika. Phambilini, i-CDC ibimane ilandelela amacala lapho abesifazane bekhombisa khona izimpawu zeZika, kepha lezi zinombolo zifaka nabesifazane okungenzeka ukuthi abanazo izimpawu zangaphandle kepha basengozini yemiphumela emibi uZika angaba nayo embungwini.

Umbiko omusha uphinde wagcizelela iqiniso lokuthi noma ungazibonisi izimpawu, uZika usengabeka ukukhulelwa kwakho engcupheni ye-microcephaly-ukukhubazeka okukhulu kokuzalwa okubangela ukuthi ingane izalwe inekhanda elincane ngokungajwayelekile ngenxa yokuthuthuka kwengqondo okungavamile. Futhi kubalulekile ukuthi wazi ukuthi abantu abaningi abatheleleke ngeZika abakhombisi zimpawu, okuyisona sizathu sokukhuluma nodokotela wakho uma ucabanga ukuthi ikhona enye indlela ongahle ube sengozini ngayo. (Kepha Masisuse Amanye Amaqiniso Ngegciwane le-Zika lama-Olimpiki.)

Ngokusho kweCDC, iningi labesifazane abakhulelwe abangu-279 abaqinisekisiwe ukuthi bane-Zika bathola leli gciwane ngesikhathi behambela phesheya ezindaweni ezisengozini enkulu. Kodwa-ke, le nhlangano iphinde ibike ukuthi ezinye zezigameko ziwumphumela wokusulelana ngocansi, okugcizelela ukubaluleka okukhulu kokusebenzisa ukuzivikela ngisho nalapho ukhulelwe. (I-FYI: Abantu abaningi babamba igciwane le-Zika njenge-STD.)

Iphuzu eliyinhloko: Uma ukhulelwe noma ucabanga ngokukhulelwa futhi uke waba sendaweni engcuphe kakhulu ye-Zika, zitholele izibalo zikadokotela wakho. Kungasiza kuphela!
