I-Rotavirus yenye yeentsholongwane eziqhelekileyo ebuntwaneni. Ibangela umfanekiso obalulekileyo we-gastroenteritis emntwaneni kwaye ukuba ayinyangwa ngexesha, inokubangela iingxaki ezinkulu kwimpilo yomntwana.
Ukuthintela oku, kubalulekile ukugonya usana kunye nokuthintela ngale ndlela onokusulelwa yile ntsholongwane.
Yintoni i-rotavirus?
Njengoko sele sibonisile ngaphambili, i-rotavirus yintsholongwane echaphazela ukuhamba kwamathumbu kwaye ihlala ibangela urhudo kunye nokugabha ebantwaneni. Ingozi yeempawu ezinjalo kukuba omncinci angancipha emzimbeni. Olu hlobo lwentsholongwane luyingozi kangangokuba kumazwe angaphuhlanga kubangela ukufa kwabantwana. Kungoko ukubaluleka kokugonya abantwana besebancinci.
Kukho olunye uthotho lweempawu ngaphandle kwesifo sorhudo esele sikhankanyiwe kunye nokugabha, njengentlungu yesisu kunye nomkhuhlane. Njengomgaqo oqhelekileyo, intsholongwane ihlala phakathi kweentsuku ezi-4 ukuya kwezi-8.
Isasazeka njani iRotavirus
I-Rotavirus luhlobo lwentsholongwane olusasazeka ngokulula nangokukhawuleza phakathi kwabantwana. Ukudluliselwa okwenzekayo kuluhlobo lwelindle lomlomo, oko kukuthi, intsholongwane ifunyanwa kwilindle lomntwana kwaye iphela idluliselwa ngothuli olusezandleni. Ngenxa yoko, kubaluleke kakhulu ukugcina ucoceko olululo lwezandla.
Isitofu sokugonya se rotavirus
Abasemagunyeni bacebisa ukuba zonke iintsana zigonyelwe intsholongwane ye-rotavirus. Ngaphandle koko, kukho umngcipheko omkhulu wokufumana intsholongwane kunye nengozi yokuba oku kubandakanya impilo yomntwana. Kuqhelekile ukuba isisu esisifo esifunyenwe sisifo sinokubangela ukuba umntwana aphelelwe ngamanzi emzimbeni.
Ingxaki ngolu hlobo lwesitofu kukuba ayixhaswa ngurhulumente. Oku kubangela ukuba iintsapho ezininzi zikhethe ukungazinxibi emntwaneni ngenxa yexabiso eliphezulu.
Isitofu sokugonya se rotavirus sinikwa ngomlomo. Iingcali zicebisa ukuyifaka kwisitofu kwiinyanga ezimbini okanye ngaphambi kweeveki ezimbini zomntwana.
Iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zokugonya
Zininzi iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezinokuvezwa lusana lokugonywa: imeko yomkhuhlane ongaphakathi, ukugabha kunye norhudo. Ezi ziziphumo ebezingalindelekanga eziqhelekileyo zokugonya ukuze abazali bangaxhalabi nangaliphi na ixesha.
Ezinye zezichaso zokugonya
Zininzi izinto ezichaseneyo abazali ekufuneka bazi ngalo:
- Akufanele ibekwe kwimeko yokuba umntwana abe komzimba kwamanye amacandelo lokugonya.
- Ayifanele ilawulwe ukuba umntwana ubandezeleka naluphi na uhlobo lwengxaki yamathumbu enokuba mandundu.
- Ukuba umntwana unesifo samathumbu okanye unefiva, kubalulekile ukuba umiswe ixesha lokugonya kuba xa umntwana echacha ngokupheleleyo.
Ngamafutshane, I-rotavirus yodidi oluyingozi kakhulu lwentsholongwane kwiintsana nakubantwana abancinci. Kungoko kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba abazali bagonye abantwana babo kwi-rotavirus.
