Ukusinda nokuziThulu kuyimangaliso
Meningitis. Kuzo zonke izizathu eziqhelekileyo zokulahlekelwa kwindlebe, lo ngowona owonkqisayo kwaye obulalayo kakhulu. Ngexesha eliphindaphindiweyo, ndifunde amanqaku malunga neentsapho zabantwana ababagula ngenxa yokugula, benqumla, baza bafumanisa ukuba umntwana uyisithulu.
Sibanzi
I-Meningitis, inokubetha naliphi na ubudala, ingaba yingozi. Kunokwenzeka ukuba ulondoloze ubomi besigulane samadoda ngokulawula ama-antibiotics anamandla kwi-bacterial meningitis (i-antibiotics ayisebenzelanga i-meningitis ye-viralitis).
Ezi antibiotics zingabangela ukungazithulu, nangona kunjalo, kunye ne-meningitis ngokwayo ingabangela nokuba isithulu.
Iimpawu
Iimpawu ze-meningitis ziquka:
- Ukukhawuleza, umkhuhlane omkhulu
- Ukuvutha
- Intloko
- Rashes
- Ukuqonda ukukhanya
Ngokutsho kwamaziko okuLawula nokuLawula izifo, i-meningitis ingabulala kwiiyure ezingama-48 okanye ngaphantsi. Ngethamsanqa, kukho isitofu sesibini kwizinto ezintathu eziyaziwayo ze-meningitis. Abantu abafumana iimpembelelo ze-cochlear kufuneka ukuba bafumane le gonyolo.
Izibalo
Ziyinto efana kangakanani ne-meningitis njengesizathu sokulahlekelwa kwindlebe? Omnye umthombo wedatha yi-Gallaudet Research Institute ye-Regional and National Summary of Reports Data esuka kwi-Survey yoNyaka yeziThulu kunye noLwazi lokuLutsha. Ngokwezifundo zango-2005-2006, i-3.2% yezithulu kunye nobunzima beentshava zokuvalelwa kwilizwe lonke balahlekelwa ukuvalelwa ngenxa ye-meningitis. Oku kwenza ukuba i-meningitis ibe yinto ebangela ukulahlekelwa kwindlebe emva kokuzalwa. Ukongezelela, enye imithombo ithi malunga nama-10 ekhulwini amaxhoba e-meningitis kumazwe athuthukile aphela ngokulahlekelwa kwindlebe.
Ukulahleka kwexesha elifutshane
Ukulahleka kweendlebe ezibangelwa yi-meningitis nako nakotyana. Ucwaningo olubikwe kwi- Archives of Diseases in Childhood lubhekisele kubantwana abangama-124 abasandul 'ukuvavanywa ukuba banesifo sengqondo. Bonke abantwana banikezwa ukuhlolwa kwee-audiological ngokukhawuleza emva kokuxilongwa, kunye nokulandelwa kokulandelelana.
Kufunyenwe iingu-twenty-one ukulahlekelwa kwindlebe ekuqalekisweni kokuqala. Nangona kunjalo, abalobi bafumene ukuba ezilishumi ezilishumi kwezigulane ezilahlekileyo zokuvalelwa kwintsebenzo yokuqala kwenkqubo yokuhlola ingakhange zifumane ukulahlekelwa kwindlebe ngexesha lokukhutshwa. Oku kuguqulelwe kwi-10% yezigulane ezineentsholongwane zokulahlekelwa kwindlebe. Kuphela i-2.4% yezigulane ekuqhutyweni kwezifundo zaphuhliswa ukulahlekelwa kwindlebe, kwaye abaphandi baxhomekeke oku kubakho ngenxa yokukhawuleza ukuba abantwana baphathwa kwaye baphathwa.
Ukongezelela, iiyure zokuqala ezingama-48 zokugula zibonakala ngathi xa ukulahlekelwa kwindlebe kuqalisiwe, kwaye nangona kwakukho unyango oluninzi. Ininzi yabantwana babegula phakathi kwama-24 no-48 iiyure, kwaye bambalwa babemangalisa ukuba ngoku abayizithulu ngexesha lokungeniswa. Iziphumo zezifundo zikhokelela abalobi ukuba baphumelele ukuba i-24-48 yeeyure lixesha elibukhali lokubuyiswa ngokuphumelelayo kwintlupheko yokuvalelwa ebangelwa yi-meningitis.
Ukungahambi
Akuyena wonke umntu ophilayo kwi-meningitis. I- British Medical Journal yabika ngophando oluthe lwafumanisa ukuba abantu abambalwa abamnyama babonakala bengenakuncipha nge-meningitis kunabantu abakhanyisa amehlo. Kule sifundo, abantu ababini kubantu abayi-32 abavalelwa yi-meningitis babenamehlo amnyama, ngelixa elinye lalingama-30 lalinamaqabunga.
Umbhali uchaza ukuba le nto inokubambisana nomxholo we-melanin ephezulu kubantu abanamehlo amnyama.
Inkxaso yabasindisi be-Meningitis
Amaqela enkxaso ayatholakala kubantu abaye basinda kwi-meningitis:
- I-website ye-Meningitis Foundation yaseMelika inika inyaniso kwi-meningitis, kunye namabali abo abachaphazelekayo (kunye nabanye abangenayo). Abanye abasindileyo bathetha indlela abava ngayo.
- I-Meningitis Research Foundation isekelwe kwi-United Kingdom.
Unyango
Abantu abaninzi, ngokukodwa abantwana, abaye bathululelwa nge-meningitis banokuncedwa ngama-cochlear implants okanye izixhobo zokuva.
Ngelishwa, akukho misonto okanye izixhobo zokuvalelwa ezazisondeleyo ukunceda omnye wamaxhoba awaziwayo kakhulu e-meningitis, eyimpumputhe kunye nesisithulu uHelen Keller , owaphulukana nombono wakhe kunye nokuvalelwa kwi-meningitis kwiminyaka nesiqingatha.
Kwizithulu zoluntu, abanye abantu abaziwayo kakhulu abaye bathuluzwa ngendoda ye-meningitis baquka uGerilee Gustason, uMlawuli oyiNtloko we-SEE (I-Signing Exact English Centre) yabantwana abaziThulu; UClifford Rowley, uyise ka-Amy Rowley, owayengumntwana kwimeko yamatyala adumile ; kunye nomdlali weCJ Jones.
