I-Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) ibike ngoJulayi 23 ukuthi ingqikithi ye-1,506 amacala okusolakala ukuthi i-diphtheria ibikwe ezindaweni ezingu-59 zohulumeni wasekhaya ezifundazweni ezingu-11 ezweni lonke.
I-Kano (amacala angu-1,055), u-Yobe (232), u-Kaduna (85), u-Katsina (58) no-Bauchi (47) uthi, kanye namacala e-FCT (amacala angu-18), enza u-99.3% wawo wonke amacala asolwayo.
Phakathi kwamacala asolwayo, angu-579, noma u-38.5%, aqinisekisiwe.Kuwo wonke amacala aqinisekisiwe, kwabikwa ukufa kwabantu abangama-39 (izinga lokufa kwabantu: 6.7%).
Kusukela ngoMeyi 2022 kuya kuJulayi 2023, iNational Centers for Disease Control and Prevention yabika ngaphezu kwe-4,000 abasolwa kanye namacala ayi-1,534 aqinisekisiwe e-diphtheria.
Kumacala aqinisekisiwe ayi-1,534 abikiwe, i-1,257 (81.9%) ayizange igonyelwe ngokuphelele i-diphtheria.
I-Diphtheria yisifo esiyingozi esibangelwa uhlobo olukhiqiza ubuthi lwe-Corynebacterium diphtheriae.Lobu buthi bungenza abantu bagule kakhulu.Amagciwane e-Diphtheria asakazwa esuka kumuntu aye komunye ngamaconsi okuphefumula njengokukhwehlela noma ukuthimula.Abantu bangagula futhi ngenxa yezilonda ezivulekile noma izilonda kubantu abane-diphtheria.
Lapho amagciwane engena ohlelweni lokuphefumula, angabangela umphimbo obuhlungu, umkhuhlane omncane, nezindlala ezivuvukele entanyeni.Ubuthi obukhiqizwa yila magciwane bungabulala izicubu ezinempilo ohlelweni lokuphefumula, kubangele ukuphefumula nokugwinya.Uma ubuthi bungena egazini, bungabangela izinkinga zenhliziyo, izinzwa nezinso.Izifo zesikhumba ezibangelwa i-B. diphtheriae ngokuvamile ziyizilonda ezingaphezulu (izilonda) futhi azibangeli ukugula okubi kakhulu.
I-diphtheria yokuphefumula ingabangela ukufa kwabanye abantu.Ngisho nokwelashwa, cishe umuntu oyedwa kwabayishumi one-diphtheria yokuphefumula uyafa.Ngaphandle kokwelashwa, kufika uhhafu weziguli zingase zibulawe yilesi sifo.
Uma ungagonyelwanga i-diphtheria noma ungagonyelwanga ngokuphelele i-diphtheria futhi kungenzeka ukuthi uke wabhekana ne-diphtheria, kubalulekile ukuqala ukwelashwa ngama-antitoxin nama-antibiotics ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka.
