Isibuyekezo Esisha Ngokuqubuka Kwezifo Ze-Salmonella eCanada

Kungani kufanele uqaphele

I-Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) ibambisana nabalingani bezempilo bomphakathi besifundazwe, i-Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) kanye ne-Health Canada ukuze baphenye ngokuqubuka kwezifo ze-Salmonella ezibandakanya izifundazwe ezinhlanu: i-British Columbia, i-Alberta, iSaskatchewan, iManitoba ne-Ontario. Izifo ezibikwe e-Ontario zazihlobene nokuhambela e-Alberta naseBritish Columbia.

Umsuka walesi sifo ubungakaqinisekiswa kanti uphenyo lusaqhubeka. Abantu abaningi abagula babike ukuthi badla ukwatapheya osanda kuthengwa ezitolo zegrosa noma baphakelwa ezindaweni zokudlela ngaphambi kokugula kwabo. Imiphumela yophenyo kuze kube manje ithole ukuthi lawa makotapheya asatshalaliswe e-British Columbia, e-Alberta, eSaskatchewan naseManitoba. Kudingeka ulwazi olwengeziwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe umsuka walesi sifo. Ukubheduka kwalesi sifo kubonakala kusaqhubeka, njengoba kusaqhubeka nokubikwa kwezifo.

I-Public Health Agency of Canada ikhipha lesi saziso sezempilo yomphakathi ukuze yazise izakhamuzi namabhizinisi ase-British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan naseManitoba ngemiphumela yophenyo kuze kube manje ukuze bakwazi ukwenza izinqumo ezinolwazi. Okwamanje, abukho ubufakazi obuphakamisa ukuthi izakhamizi zakwezinye izifundazwe nezindawo zithintwa yilesi sifo. Lesi saziso sihlanganisa nolwazi olubalulekile lokuphatha ukudla okuphephile kwabantu baseCanada namabhizinisi angasiza ekuvimbeleni ukutheleleka okwengeziwe kwe-Salmonella.

Lesi saziso sezempilo yomphakathi sizobuyekezwa njengoba uphenyo luqhubeka.

Isifinyezo sophenyo

Kusukela ngoDisemba 6, kube namacala angama-79 aqinisekisiwe elabhorethri okugula kweSalmonella Enteritidis aphenywa: eBritish Columbia (34), Alberta (28), Saskatchewan (4), Manitoba (11) nase-Ontario (2). Izifo ezibikwe e-Ontario zihlobene nokuhambela e-Alberta naseBritish Columbia. Abantu baqale ukugula phakathi kokuqala kukaSepthemba 2021 maphakathi noNovemba 2021. Abantu abane balaliswe esibhedlela. Akubikwanga ngokufa kwabantu. Abantu abaqale ukugula baphakathi kweminyaka emi-5 nengama-89 ubudala. Iningi lamacala (63%) ngabesifazane.

I-CFIA yenza uphenyo lokuphepha kokudla. Uma imikhiqizo ethile yokudla engcolile ikhonjwa, izothatha izinyathelo ezidingekayo ukuze kuvikelwe umphakathi, okuhlanganisa nokucela ukubuyiswa komkhiqizo njengoba kudingeka. Okwamanje azikho Izexwayiso Zokukhumbula Ukudla ezihlobene nalokhu kuqubuka.

Ubani osengozini enkulu

Noma ubani angagula ngenxa yokutheleleka nge-Salmonella, kodwa izingane ezincane, asebekhulile, abesifazane abakhulelwe noma abantu abanamasosha omzimba abuthakathaka basengozini enkulu yokuthola ukugula okubi.

Abantu abaningi abaguliswa ukutheleleka nge-Salmonella bazolulama ngokugcwele ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa. Kuyenzeka ukuthi abanye abantu bangenwe yileli gciwane futhi bangaguli noma bakhombise izimpawu, kodwa bakwazi ukusabalalisa leli gciwane kwabanye.

Okufanele ukwenze ukuvikela impilo yakho

Kunzima ukwazi ukuthi umkhiqizo ungcoliswe yini i-Salmonella ngoba awukwazi ukuwubona, ukuwuhogela noma ukuwunambitha. Amacebiso alandelayo okulungiselela izithelo nemifino emisha, kuhlanganise nokwatapheya, angasiza ekunciphiseni ingozi yokugula, kodwa angase angayiqedi ngokugcwele ingozi yokugula.

• Hlola izithelo nemifino emisha ngokucophelela ngaphambi kokuthenga ukuze ugweme lezo ezilimele noma ezilimele.

• Geza izikhwama zegrosa ezisebenziseka kabusha noma imigqomo njalo.

• Geza izandla zakho ngensipho namanzi afudumele okungenani imizuzwana engu-20 ngaphambi nangemva kokuphatha izithelo nemifino.

• Sika noma yiziphi izindawo ezilimele noma ezilimele esithelweni nemifino, njengoba amagciwane ayingozi angachuma kulezi zindawo. Qiniseka ukuthi uhlanza ummese wakho ngamanzi ashisayo nensipho ngaphambi kokuwusebenzisa futhi.

• Geza izithelo ezintsha nemifino kahle ngaphansi kwamanzi ahlanzekile, apholile, ahambayo, ngisho noma uhlela ukuwacwecwa. Lokhu kusiza ukuvimbela ukusabalala kwanoma yimaphi amagciwane okungenzeka akhona.

• Ungacwilisi izithelo ezintsha nemifino kusinki ogcwele amanzi. Ingangcoliswa amagciwane akusinki.

• Sebenzisa ibhulashi elihlanzekile ukukhuhla izinto ezinendawo eqinile njengokwatapheya, amawolintshi, amakhabe, amazambane kanye nezaqathi. Akudingekile ukusebenzisa imikhiqizo yokuhlanza ukugeza izithelo nemifino emisha.

• Sebenzisa ibhodi elihlukile lokusika izithelo nemifino. Geza amabhodi okusika ngemva kokusetshenziswa ngakunye ukuze uvimbele ukungcola.

• Faka izithelo nemifino ehlutshiwe noma eyisikiwe epuletini elihlanzekile noma esitsheni ukuze zingangcoli.

• Uma ungadli ngokushesha, faka efrijini izithelo nemifino emisha, kanye nemikhiqizo eyenziwe ngesithelo esisha nemifino (isb., amadiphu/asakazwa), ngemva kokusika, ukucwecwa noma ukuwenza. Amagciwane ayingozi angakhula esithelweni sakho esisha nemifino uma ushiywa ngaphandle kwesiqandisi isikhathi eside kakhulu.

• Sebenzisa amathawula ephepha ukuze usule indawo yasekhishini, noma ushintshe izindwangu zokugqoka nsuku zonke ukuze ugweme ingozi yokuthelelana izifo ezihlukahlukene kanye nokusabalala kwamagciwane, futhi ugweme ukusebenzisa izipontshi njengoba zilukhuni kakhulu ukuzigcina zingenamagciwane.

• Hlanza izinto zokubala, amabhodi okusika kanye nezitsha ngaphambi nangemuva kokulungisa ukudla. Sebenzisa isibulali magciwane sasekhishini (ulandela iziqondiso zesitsha) noma isixazululo se-bleach (i-bleach yasendlini engu-5 ml ukuya ku-750 ml wamanzi) bese ugeza ngamanzi.

• Ungalungiseleli abanye abantu ukudla uma ucabanga ukuthi uguliswa yi-Salmonella infection noma uphethwe yinoma yisiphi esinye isifo esithathelwanayo esidala isifo sohudo.

Izimpawu

Izimpawu zokutheleleka nge-Salmonella, okuthiwa i-salmonellosis, ngokuvamile ziqala amahora angu-6 kuya kwangu-72 ngemva kokuchayeka kumagciwane e-Salmonella esilwaneni esinegciwane noma umkhiqizo onamagciwane.

Izimpawu zihlanganisa:

• imfiva

• amakhaza

• isifo sohudo

• amajaqamba esiswini

• ikhanda elibuhlungu

• isicanucanu

• ukuhlanza

Lezi zimpawu zivame ukuhlala izinsuku ezine kuya kweziyisikhombisa. Kubantu abanempilo, i-salmonellosis ivame ukuqedwa ngaphandle kokwelashwa, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi ama-antibiotics angase adingeke. Kwezinye izimo, ukugula okunzima kungase kwenzeke futhi kungase kudingeke ukulaliswa esibhedlela. Abantu abangenwe amagciwane e-Salmonella bangatheleleka kusukela ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kuya emasontweni ambalwa. Abantu abanezimpawu, noma abanezimo zezempilo ezingaphansi, kufanele bathinte umhlinzeki wabo wezempilo uma besola ukuthi banegciwane le-Salmonella.

Okwenziwa nguHulumeni waseCanada

Uhulumeni waseCanada uzibophezele ekuvikeleni impilo yabantu baseCanada ekuqubukeni kwezifo ze-enteric.

I-PHAC ihola uphenyo lwezempilo yabantu ekuqubukeni futhi ixhumana njalo nabalingani bayo benhlangano, izifundazwe kanye nezindawo ukuze baqaphe isimo futhi basebenzisane ezinyathelweni zokubhekana nokuqubuka kodlame.

I-Health Canada inikeza ukuhlolwa kwengozi yezempilo okuhlobene nokudla ukuze kutholwe ukuthi ukuba khona kwento ethile noma i-microorganism ethile ibeka engcupheni yezempilo kubathengi.

I-CFIA yenza uphenyo lokuphepha kokudla emthonjeni wokudla okungenzeka ukuthi ubheduke.
