Njengoba siqinisekile ukuthi abaningi benu bayazi, kunezindaba ezisabalele mayelana neMonkey Pox, ne-UK Health Security Agency (UKSA) namuhla ibike ezinye izigameko eziyishumi nanye.
Siyaqonda ukuthi lokhu kungase kubangele ukukhathazeka kwabaningi benu, ikakhulukazi njengoba lokhu kwenzeka ngemva kwe-Covid-19. Kodwa-ke, sithanda ukugqamisa ukuthi umhlahlandlela wamanje we-UKHSA ukuthi leli gciwane alivamile ukusakazeka kalula, futhi ubungozi kubantu buncane. Uphenyo lusaqhubeka, futhi ukulandelela ukuthintana nabo kuyaqhubeka ukuze kubhekwe izindlela ezingase zidluliselwe futhi kuvinjwe ukusakazeka okuqhubekayo.
Iyini I-Monkeypox?
I-Monkeypox i-zoonotic (ingasakazwa isuka ezilwaneni iye kubantu) igciwane lesandulela ngculazi elitholakala ezingxenyeni ezithile zasentshonalanga namaphakathi ne-Afrika.
Isakazeka kanjani i-monkeypox?
Leli gciwane lisakazwa ngokuthintana eduze nomuntu onaleli gciwane noma ngokuthintana negazi, uketshezi lomzimba, izilonda esikhunjeni noma eziphuma emlonyeni womuntu noma izilwane. Ingasakazwa futhi ngokuthinta izingubo noma amalineni asetshenziswa umuntu onegciwane.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi i-monkeypox AKULONA ikakhulukazi igciwane lokuphefumula ngakho ngeke lisabalale ngendlela efanayo ne-COVID-19 futhi cishe ngeke lithinte abantu abanesifo sokuphefumula esivele sikhona ngendlela efanayo.
Izimpawu
Izimpawu zokuqala ze-monkeypox zihlanganisa:
- imfiva
- bekhanda
- ukuqaqamba kwemisipha
- iqolo
- ama-lymph node avuvukile
- ngiqhaqhazela
- ukukhathala
Ukuqubuka kuvame ukuvela ezinsukwini ezi-1 – 5 ngemva kwezimpawu zokuqala, ngokuvamile kuqale ebusweni bese kudlulela kwezinye izingxenye zomzimba, ikakhulukazi ezandleni nasezinyaweni.
Ukuqubuka (okungabukeka njengenkukhu) kuqala njengamachashaza aphakanyisiwe, aphenduka abe amabhamuza amancane agcwele uketshezi. Lamabhamuza agcina enza utwayi oluthi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi luyawa. Izimpawu ngokuvamile ziba mnene futhi ziyazikhawulela futhi ngokuvamile ziyacaca emavikini angu-2 kuya kwangu-4.
Noma ubani onokukhathazeka ngokuthi angase atheleleke nge-monkeypox uyelulekwa ukuthi athinte i-NHS 111 noma umtholampilo wezempilo yezocansi.
Ulwazi olwengeziwe lungatholakala ngesixhumanisi esingezansi.
