Izinsana zisengcupheni enkulu ye-Listeriosis


uMnyango weze Mpilo sewuku fakele amehlo  lokhu kubheduka kwesifo se-Listeriosis, njengoba se kubikwe ukuthi bayi-119 abantu abatheleleke yilesi sifo kusukela ngomhla ka-5 kuZibandlela. Isibalo esiphelele esiqiniseki swe elabhorethri sabantu abahlaselwe yilesi sifo ngonyaka wezi-2017 ngama-727.
Isikhungo Sokulawulwa Nokuvikelwa Kwezifo sicha ze i-Listeriosis  njengesifo esibucayi kodwa esilaphe kayo futhi esigwemeka yo esibangwa yigciwane le-Listeria monocytogenes.
Leli gciwane litholakala  enhlabathini, emanzini kanye nasezitshalweni. Imikhiqizo yezilwane – efana nenyama nemikhiqizo yobisi, izidlo zasolwandle kanye nemikhi qizo emisha njengemifino nezithelo kungaba naleli gciwane.
Yize noma ngubani ongatheleleka yi-Listeriosis, labo abasengcupheni enkulu yokungenwa yilesi sifo babandakanya izinsana ezisanda kuzalwa, abantu asebeluphele, abesifazane abakhulelwe, kanye naba ntu abanamasosha omzi mba antekenteke njenga-bane-HIV , isifo sikashukela, umdlavuza, isifo sezinso noma esesibindi esingumahla lakhona.
Abantu abathinteka  kakhulu yilabo abayizinsana ezinezinsukwana zizelwe – izinsana ezinezinsuku ezi ngama-28 zizelwe, nabantu abaneminyaka ephakathi kweyi-15 nengama-49. Aba-ntu abanale minyaka yobudala bangama-70% abantu bonke abanalesi sifo.
Umnyango usunxuse abesifazane abakhulelwe ukuba babhalise kuMomConnect  ukuze bathole izindaba zakamuva ze-Listeriosis nje ngoba izingane ezinezinsuku ezingaphansi kwezingama-28 kuyizo ezithinteka kakhulu.
“Uma sibuka amanani abantu abathinteke kakhulu, siyaqaphela ukuthi kuwo wonke la maqembu abantu abasengcupheni enkulu, izinsana ezisanda kuzalwa yizona ezithinteka kakhulu. Uma sihlaziya ngamaqembu eminyaka kusukela ekuzalweni kuya eminyakeni engama-93 ubudala, izinsana ezisanda kuzalwa zizodwa nje zicishe zifinyelele kuma--40% abantu abanalesi sifo,” kusho uNgqongqoshe wezeMpilo uDkt Aaron Mo tsoaledi.  UNgqongqoshe uphinde wanxusa abasebenzi beze mpilo ukuba baqikelele nakakhulu uma besiza abesifazane abakhulelwe.
“Isicelo esiyisipesheli kubasebenzi bezempilo no-mphakathi wonkana ukuba banakekele abesifazane aba khulelwe kakhulu. Qikelela ngokwengeziwe uma ubhe kene nowesifazane okhule lwe noma usana olusanda kuzalwa,” kusho yena.
