Isifo semonkeypox sesifikile ukuzothelela abantu eNingizimu Afrika
INingizimu Afrika iqophe icala layo lokuqala leMonkeypox kuleli.
UNgqongqoshe Wezempilo uJoe Phaahla ubekhuluma nabezindaba ngoLwesine mayelana nokuchithwa kwemithetho mayelana nezimo zezempilo ezibhekiwe ezibhekene nobhubhane lwe-covid-19 kanye ne-monkey-pox.
UPhaahla uthi bathole umbiko kade ngoLwesithathu ovela ku-National Health Laboratory Services Services ukuthi baqinisekise ngokuhlolwa kwaselabhorethri ukuthi kwenzekile watholakala nesifo sokuqala senkawu eNingizimu Afrika.
“Isiguli ngowesilisa oneminyaka engu-30 waseGoli ongenawo umlando wokuvakasha, okusho ukuthi lokhu angeke kuhlanganiswe nokutholakala ngaphandle kwaseNingizimu Afrika. Ukusebenzisana neziphathimandla zezempilo ezifanele isiqalile inqubo yokulandela umkhondo wokuxhumana nabantu.”
UPhaahla uthe iNational Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) iqhuba izifundo ze-inthanethi kubasebenzi bezempilo ukuze bakwazi ukubona lesi sifo ukuze kwenziwe ukuhlolwa okudingekayo e-laboratory.
“Isifo sibhebhetheka kuphela ngamaconsi asondelene ngakho awukwazi ukungena ngokuba segunjini elilodwa nomuntu onaleli gciwane. Kuze kube manje yikho okugqame kakhulu emadodeni aya ocansini nabesilisa, kodwa isici esiyinhloko ukuthi ukusulelana kungokuthintana eduze.”
I-Monkeypox isifo esingavamile esibangelwa amagciwane kubantu.
Kusukela ngoMeyi 2022, inkawu isibikwe kubantu abangaphezu kuka-3 000 abavela emazweni amaningana aseYurophu, i-USA, Canada, Australia, Morocco kanye ne-United Arab Emirates.
Izinto eziyingozi zihlanganisa ukubika abalingani bocansi abaningi.
Imicimbi emikhulu yakamuva kucatshangwa ukuthi isebenze njengemicimbi esakaza kakhulu.
Ukusulelana komuntu nomuntu kuhilela ukuthintana eduze (ngokwesibonelo, ukuqabulana, ukugona, ukuya ocansini) nomuntu onaleli gciwane noma izinto ezingcoliswe ngumuntu onaleli gciwane (isibonelo, ukwabelana ngelineni, izingubo nezinye izinto zasendlini).
Igciwane alisuleleki kakhulu futhi ukuthintana eduze komzimba kuyadingeka ukuze lidluliselwe. Ayisabalali ngendlela efanayo kumkhuhlane noma igciwane le-SARS-CoV-2.
Imonkeypox iveza ukugula okunzima okubonakaliswa umkhuhlane kanye nezimpawu ezinjengomkhuhlane, okulandelwa ukuqubuka okufana namabhamuza esikhumbeni.
Lesi sifo akuvamile ukuba sibulale futhi amacala ngokuvamile axazululeka phakathi namasonto amabili kuya kwamane.
Izimo eziningi azidingi ukwelashwa esibhedlela kanye nokuvinjelwa kokutheleleka kuncike ekuhlukaniseni amacala kuze kube yilapho eseluleme ngokugcwele.
Ingozi kubantu abaningi ibhekwa njengephansi, uma kubhekwa ukusuleleka okuphansi kwegciwane.
I-World Health Organisation incoma ukuthi kukhuliswe ukuqapha kwamacala anokulandelwa kokuxhumana nokuqapha amacala aqinisekiswe ngelebhu.
Ukuhlukaniswa kwamacala aqinisekisiwe kuvumela ukuvinjelwa kokudluliselwa kanye nokuphazamiseka komjikelezo wokudlulisela.
Ukujikeleza kwegciwane lemonkeypox kubantu kungase kuqedwe ngale ndlela yakudala yokuqukatha.
Ukugonywa okukhulu kwegciwane lemonkeypox akunconywa okwamanje.
