Timaphatikizapo zinthu zomwe timaganiza kuti ndizothandiza kwa owerenga athu. Ngati mutagula maulalo omwe ali patsamba lino, titha kupeza ndalama zochepa. Nayi njira yathu.

Kodi malungo ndi chiyani?

Malungo ndi matenda owopsa. Imafalikira kwambiri chifukwa choluma kwa wodwalayo Anopheles udzudzu. Udzudzu wodwala umanyamula Plasmodium tiziromboti. Udzudzuwu ukakuluma, tizilomboto timatuluka m'magazi mwako.

Tiziromboti tikangokhala m'thupi mwanu, amapita pachiwindi, komwe amakula. Pakatha masiku angapo, tizilomboti timakhwima timalowa m'magazi ndikuyamba kupatsira maselo ofiira.

Pakadutsa maola 48 kapena 72, tiziromboti tomwe tili mkati mwa maselo ofiira ofalikira timachulukana, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti maselo omwe ali ndi kachilomboka atseguke.

Tiziromboti timapitilizabe kupatsira maselo ofiira, zomwe zimayambitsa zizindikilo zomwe zimachitika m'masiku awiri kapena atatu nthawi imodzi.

Malungo amapezeka kumadera otentha komanso otentha kumene tizilomboti timatha kukhala. Amati, mu 2016, panali anthu pafupifupi 216 miliyoni a malungo m'maiko 91.

Ku United States, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lipoti la malungo pachaka. Matenda ambiri a malungo amakula mwa anthu omwe amapita kumayiko komwe malungo amapezeka kwambiri.

Kodi chimayambitsa malungo ndi chiyani?

Malungo amatha kupezeka ngati udzudzu uli ndi Plasmodium tiziromboti timakulumani. Pali mitundu inayi ya tiziromboti tomwe timatha kudwala anthu: Plasmodium vivax, P. ovale, P. malungo, ndi P. falciparum.

P. falciparum amayambitsa matenda oopsa kwambiri ndipo omwe amatenga mtundu uwu wa malungo amakhala pachiwopsezo chachikulu chofa. Mayi yemwe ali ndi kachilomboka amathanso kupatsira mwanayo matendawa atabadwa. Izi zimadziwika ngati kobadwa nako malungo.

Malaria imafalikira ndi magazi, chifukwa chake amathanso kupatsirana kudzera:

• kumuika thupi
• kuikidwa magazi
• Kugwiritsira ntchito masingano kapena ma syringe

Kodi zizindikiro za malungo ndi ziti?

Zizindikiro za malungo zimayamba pakadutsa masiku 10 kapena 4 milungu itadwala. Nthawi zina, zizindikilo zimatha kukhala miyezi ingapo. Tizirombo tina ta malungo titha kulowa mthupi koma timangokhala tulo kwa nthawi yayitali.

Zizindikiro zodziwika bwino za malungo ndi awa:

• kugwedeza kuzizira komwe kumatha kukhala kokulirapo mpaka koopsa
• malungo akulu
• thukuta kwambiri
• mutu
• nseru
• kusanza
• kupweteka m'mimba
• kutsegula m'mimba
• kuchepa kwa magazi m'thupi
• kupweteka kwa minofu
• kusokonezeka
• chikomokere
• mipando yamagazi

Kodi matenda a malungo amapezeka bwanji?

Dokotala wanu atha kudziwa malungo. Mukamusankha, dokotala adzawunikanso mbiri yanu yaumoyo, kuphatikiza maulendo aposachedwa akumadera otentha. Kuyezetsa thupi kudzachitikanso.

Dokotala wanu adzatha kudziwa ngati muli ndi nthenda kapena chiwindi chokulitsa. Ngati muli ndi zizindikiro za malungo, dokotala wanu atha kuyitanitsa zoyezetsa magazi kuti mutsimikizire kuti mwapezeka.

Mayesowa awonetsa:

• kaya muli ndi malungo
• muli ndi malungo amtundu wanji
• ngati matenda anu amayambitsidwa ndi tiziromboti tomwe simalimbana ndi mitundu ina ya mankhwala
• ngati matendawa ayambitsa kuchepa kwa magazi m'thupi
• ngati matendawa akhudza ziwalo zanu zofunika

Mavuto owopsa a malungo

Malungo angayambitse mavuto angapo owopsa. Zotsatirazi zitha kuchitika:

• kutupa kwa mitsempha yamaubongo, kapena malungo aubongo
• kudzikundikira kwamadzimadzi m'mapapu komwe kumayambitsa mavuto kupuma, kapena edema m'mapapo mwanga
• kulephera kwa ziwalo za impso, chiwindi, kapena ndulu
• kuchepa magazi m'thupi chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwa maselo ofiira
• shuga wotsika magazi

Kodi malungo amachizidwa bwanji?

Malungo atha kukhala owopsa, makamaka ngati ali ndi kachilomboka P. falciparum. Chithandizo cha matendawa chimaperekedwa kuchipatala. Dokotala wanu adzakupatsani mankhwala kutengera mtundu wa tiziromboti tomwe muli nato.

Nthawi zina, mankhwala omwe adalangizidwa sangachotse matendawa chifukwa chakulimbana ndi tiziromboti. Izi zikachitika, dokotala angafunikire kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala opitilira umodzi kapena kusintha mankhwala palimodzi kuti athetse vuto lanu.

Kuphatikiza apo, mitundu ina ya tiziromboti ta malungo, monga P. vivax ndipo P. ovale, khalani ndi magawo a chiwindi pomwe tizilomboti titha kukhala mthupi lanu kwa nthawi yayitali ndikukhazikitsanso pambuyo pake kuyambitsa kuyambiranso kwa matendawa.

Mukapezeka kuti muli ndi amodzi mwa mitundu iyi ya tiziromboti ta malungo, mudzapatsidwa mankhwala achiwiri kuti musabwererenso mtsogolo.

Kodi malingaliro a nthawi yayitali kwa anthu omwe ali ndi malungo ndi ati?

Anthu omwe ali ndi malungo omwe amalandira chithandizo amakhala ndi chiyembekezo chanthawi yayitali. Ngati mavuto abwera chifukwa cha malungo, malingaliro ake sangakhale abwino. Cerebral malaria, yomwe imayambitsa kutupa kwa mitsempha ya ubongo, imatha kuwononga ubongo.

Maganizo okhalitsa kwa odwala omwe ali ndi majeremusi osamva mankhwala amathanso kukhala osauka. Mwa odwalawa, malungo amatha kuyambiranso. Izi zitha kuyambitsa zovuta zina.

Zokuthandizani kupewa malungo

Palibe katemera wotetezera malungo. Lankhulani ndi dokotala ngati mukupita kudera lomwe malungo amapezeka kapena ngati mumakhala kudera lotere. Mutha kupatsidwa mankhwala kuti mupewe matendawa.

Mankhwalawa ndi ofanana ndi omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito pochiza matendawa ndipo amayenera kumwedwa musanapite, mkati, komanso pambuyo paulendo wanu.

Lankhulani ndi dokotala wanu za kupewa kwa nthawi yayitali ngati mumakhala kudera la malungo. Kugona pansi pa ukonde wa udzudzu kungathandize kuti musalumidwe ndi udzudzu womwe uli ndi kachilomboka. Kuphimba khungu lanu kapena kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala opopera omwe ali ndi DEET] kungathandizenso kupewa matenda.

Ngati simukudziwa ngati malungo ali ponseponse m'dera lanu, CDC ili ndi zatsopano zomwe malungo angapezeke.
