Ukusinda Nokuzizwa Uyisimangaliso kuyisimangaliso
I-Meningitis. Kuzo zonke izimbangela ezivamile zokulahleka kokuzwa, le yinto ebesabekayo kakhulu futhi ebulalayo kakhulu. Ngokuphindaphindiwe, ngifunde izihloko mayelana nemindeni enezingane ezigula ngokugula nge-meningitis, idabula, bese zithola ukuthi ingane yayisithulu.
Sibutsetelo
I-Meningitis, engabamba nganoma isiphi isikhathi, ingaba yingozi. Kungenzeka ukusindisa impilo yesiguli se-meningitis ngokuhlinzeka ngama-antibiotic anamandla we-bacterial meningitis (ama-antibiotics awasebenzeli i-viral meningitis).
Lezi zinqamuzana zingabangela ukungazizwa, noma kunjalo, futhi i-meningitis ngokwayo ingabangela nesithulu.
Izimpawu
Izimpawu ze-meningitis zihlanganisa:
- Ukushesha, umkhuhlane omkhulu
- Ukuvota
- Izinwele
- Ukuhlambalaza
- Ukuzwela ukukhanya
Ngokwezikhungo zokulawulwa nokuvimbela izifo, i-meningitis ingabulala zingakapheli amahora angu-48 noma ngaphansi. Ngenhlanhla, kunomuthi wokugonywa kwezinhlobo ezimbili kwezinhlobo ezintathu eziyaziwayo ze-meningitis. Abantu abathola izimpande ze-cochlear kuyadingeka ukuze bathole lo mgomo.
Izibalo
Kuvamile kangakanani ukuthi i-meningitis ibe yimbangela yokulahlekelwa kwezindlebe? Omunye umthombo wedatha yi-Gallaudet Research Institute sika-Summary Regional and National Summary of Report Report kusukela kuNhlolovo Yonyaka Yabantu abayizithulu nabanzima bokuzwa kwentsha. Ngokombiko we-2005-2006, u-3.2% wezinzwa zezithulu nezindlebe zokuzizwa emhlabeni wonke walahlekelwa ukuzwa ngenxa ye-meningitis. Lokhu kwenza ukuba i-meningitis ibe yimbangela yokulahlekelwa kokulalela okuholela phambili. Ngaphezu kwalokho, omunye umthombo uthi cishe amaphesenti ayishumi okusinda kwamadoda asethuthukile emazweni athuthukile aphelelwa ukulahlekelwa okungahleliwe.
Ukulahlekelwa Kokugcina Kwesikhashana
Ukulahlekelwa kwezindlebe okubangelwa i-meningitis nakho kungaba okwesikhashana. Ucwaningo olubikiwe ku- Archives of Diseases in Childhood lubuke izingane ezingu-124 ezanda kutholakala ukuthi zinezinkinga zokwelapha. Zonke izingane zanikezwa ukuhlolwa kwe-audiological ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka ngemva kokuxilongwa, ngokuhlolwa okulandelwayo.
Kutholakale ukutholakala kokulalelwa okungamashumi amabili nanye ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kokuqala. Kodwa-ke, abalobi bathole ukuthi iziguli eziyishumi nesishiyagalolunye ezilahlekelwa ukuzwa ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kokuqala azizange zilalele ngesikhathi sokukhishwa. Lokhu kwahumusha cishe ama-10% weziguli ezinokulahlekelwa kokuzwa okubuyiselwayo. I-2.4% kuphela yeziguli ezicwaningweni zaqala ukulahlekelwa ukuzwa okuqhubekayo, futhi abacwaningi abaxoshe lokhu kungenzeka ukuthi bekungenxa yokuthi ngokushesha izingane zitholwa kanjani futhi zelashwa.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amahora angu-48 okuqala okugula avele ekhona lapho ukulahlekelwa kokuzwa kuqala, futhi nalapho kutholakala khona kakhulu. Abaningi bezingane babegula phakathi kwamahora angu-24 no-48, kanti abambalwa bakhononda ukuthi manje bezithulu ngesikhathi sokungena. Imiphumela yocwaningo yabangela abalobi ukuba baphethe ngokuthi isikhathi samahora angu-24-48 yisikhathi esibucayi sokuguqulwa okuphumelelayo kokulahlekelwa kwezindlebe okubangelwa i-meningitis.
Ukwehluleka
Akuwona wonke umuntu osinda ku-meningitis. I- British Medical Journal ibike ngocwaningo oluthola ukuthi abantu abanobumnyama babonakala bengenakuncipha ukuzwa isifo se-meningitis kunabantu abakhanyisa amehlo. Kulolu cwaningo, abantu ababili kwabangu-32 abayizithulu nge-meningitis babenamehlo amnyama, kuyilapho abanye abangu-30 benamehlo alula.
Umbhali uchaza ukuthi lokhu kungahlobene nokuqukethwe okuphezulu kwe-melanin kubantu abanamehlo amnyama.
Ukusekela abahlengikazi be-Meningitis
Amaqembu okusekela atholakale kubantu abaye basinda ku-meningitis:
- Iwebhusayithi ye-Meningitis Foundation yaseMelika inikeza amaqiniso nge-meningitis, kanye nezindatshana zabantu abahlukunyeziwe abaye basinda (kanye nabanye abangenayo). Abanye abasindile basho ukuthi baba kanjani abayizithulu.
- I-Meningitis Research Foundation isekelwe e-United Kingdom.
Ukwelapha
Abantu abaningi, ikakhulukazi izingane, eziye zazwa nge-meningitis zingasizwa yizimplantshi ze-cochlear noma izinsiza zokuzwa.
Ngeshwa, izimpande noma izizwa zokuzwa azange zisize esinye isisulu esaziwa kakhulu se-meningitis, izimpumputhe nezithulu uHelen Keller , owalahlekelwa umbono wakhe nokuzwa nge-meningitis eneminyaka eyi-1 nengxenye.
Emphakathini oyisithulu, abanye abantu abaziwa kakhulu abaye bazwa nge-meningitis bahlanganisa uGerilee Gustason, uMqondisi Ophethe we-SEE (IsiNgisi Esicacile SesiNgisi) se-Deaf Children; UClifford Rowley, ubaba ka-Amy Rowley, owayengumntwana enecala elidumile lenkantolo ; nomdlali we-actor CJ Jones.
