Africa ndi chigawo chachikulu chomwe chimapangidwa ndi mayiko 54 osiyana kwambiri, ndipo zokhudzana ndi maulendo oyendayenda ndizovuta. Katemera womwe mukufunikira umadalira kwambiri kumene mukupita. Mwachitsanzo, ngati mukupita ku nkhalango ya Democratic Republic of Congo , mudzakhala ndi nthawi yochuluka ku chipatala choyendayenda kusiyana ndi momwe mungachitire ngati mutayendera mizinda yoyamba ya South Africa ya Kumadzulo. Cape.
Pomwe zikunenedwa, muli katemera ambiri omwe amagwiritsa ntchito kulikonse kumene mukupita.
NB: Chonde dziwani kuti zotsatirazi sizomwe zili mndandanda wathunthu. Onetsetsani kuti mukufunsira uphungu kwa dokotala mukamasankha nthawi yanu yochizira.
Nthawi zonse katemera
Mofanana ndi maulendo onse akunja, ndibwino kutsimikizira kuti katemera wanu wamakono ndi oyenera. Izi ndizo katemera zomwe muyenera kukhala nazo monga mwana - kuphatikizapo katemera wa mavitamini-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) ndi katemera wa nkhuku, polio ndi Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis. Ngati mukuyenda ndi ana , onetsetsani kuti ali ndi katemera wawo, ndipo funsani dotolo kuti muwone ngati mukuyenera kulimbikitsa.
Katemera wotchulidwa
Palinso katemera omwe sali ovomerezeka ku United States kapena ku Ulaya, koma zomwe ziridi zedi zabwino kwa iwo omwe amapita ku Africa. Izi zimaphatikizapo katemera wa Hepatitis A ndi Typhoid, zomwe zonsezi zingagwiritsidwe ntchito kudzera mu zakudya ndi madzi.
Hepatitis B imayambitsidwa kudzera m'madzi amadzi, ndipo pamakhala chiopsezo chodetsa mwazi wosatetezedwa (ngati mutha kupita kuchipatala) kapena pogonana ndi mnzanu watsopano. Pamapeto pake, Rabies ndi vuto lonse ku Africa, ndipo akhoza kulengezedwa ndi nyama iliyonse, kuphatikiza agalu ndi mabala.
Katemera oyenera
Ngakhale kulimbikitsidwa kwambiri, katemera onse omwe tatchulidwa pamwambawa ndi osankha. Pali zina zomwe siziri, koma ndi izi, Yellow Fever ndizofala kwambiri. Kwa maiko ambiri a ku Africa, chitsimikizo cha katemera wa Yellow Fever ndilo lamulo, ndipo mudzakana kukalowa ngati mulibe umboni. Muyenera kuyang'anirana ndi ambassy a malo omwe mwasankhidwa kuti muwone ngati vutoli likukukhudzani - komabe kuyankhula kwachilendo, Yellow fever katemera ndilofunika ku mayiko onse omwe matendawa alipo.
Kawirikawiri, mayiko omwe sali ochepa amapempha chitsimikizo cha katemera ngati mukuchoka kapena mwangotenga nthawi mu dziko la Yellow Fever. Mndandanda wa mayiko onse a Yellow Fever, onani mapu awa ndi Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Matenda Otchulidwa M'dzikolo
Malingana ndi dziko ndi dera lomwe mukukonzekera kuyendera, pangakhale matenda ena ambiri omwe mukufunika kuti katemera. Mayiko ena akumwera kwa Sahara (kuphatikizapo Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia ndi Senegal) ali mbali ya 'Meningitis Belt' ya Africa, ndipo katemera wa Meningococcal Meningitis akulimbikitsidwa kwambiri. Malaria ndi vuto m'mayiko ambiri akummwera kwa Sahara, ndipo ngakhale mulibe katemera wa malungo, mukhoza kutenga mankhwala ochepetsa malungo omwe amachepetsa mwayi wopatsirana kwambiri.
Palinso matenda ena omwe simungathe katemera, kuphatikizapo Vuto la Zika, Virus ya West Nile ndi Dengue Fever. Zonsezi zimafalikira ndi udzudzu, ndipo njira yokhayo yopeŵera matenda ndi kupewa kupezeka - ngakhale katemera wa Zika Virus ali pakayesero kachipatala. Padakali pano, amayi ndi amayi omwe ali ndi pakati omwe akukonzekera kutenga pakati ayenera kukambirana mosamala za Zika kachilombo mosamala ndi dokotala asanayambe ulendo wopita ku Zika.
Pitani ku webusaiti ya CDC kuti mumve zambiri zokhudza matenda omwe alipo m'mayiko onse a ku Africa.
Pangani ndondomeko yanu ya katemera
Katemera wina (monga wa a Rabies) amathandizidwa pang'onopang'ono patatha masabata angapo, pamene matenda ena a malungo amayenera kutengedwa kwa milungu iwiri asanatuluke. Ngati dokotala wanu kapena kliniki yaulendo sakukhala ndi katemera woyenera pa katundu, iwo ayenera kuwapatsa iwo makamaka - zomwe zingatenge nthawi.
Choncho, kuti mupeze katemera womwe mukufunikira, ndibwino kuti muyambe kukambirana ndi dokotala wanu miyezi ingapo musanayambe ulendo wanu wa ku Africa.
