Die Wes-Kaapse departement van gesondheid doen \u2019n beroep op alle ouers en voogde om hul kinders onder 15 jaar vir \u2019n opvolg-inenting teen masels te neem nadat talle gevalle van masels aangemeld is. <\/p>\n
Masels is oordraagbaar en een van die mees aansteeklike siektes ter w\u00eareld. <\/p>\n
\n Kan tot die dood lei <\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Die Wes-Kaapse departement van gesondheid het \u2019n inentingsveldtog van stapel gestuur en aanvullende opvolg-entstofdosisse vir elke kind jonger as 15 jaar beskikbaar gestel. <\/p>\n
Die Wes-Kaap poog om sowat 95% van kinders teen die maselsvirus te immuniseer, wat uiteindelike uitbrekings sal voorkom. <\/p>\n
Om teen masels ge\u00efmmuniseer te wees, is twee maselsinentings nodig. Tot nou is 80% van kinders in die provinsie inge\u00ebnt.<\/p>\n
\n Tekens en simptome<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Die eerste tekens van masels is gewoonlik \u2019n ho\u00eb koors, wat 10 tot 12 dae n\u00e1 blootstelling aan die virus voorkom en sowat vier tot sewe dae kan duur.<\/p>\n
Ander simptome soos hoes, rooi en waterige o\u00eb, \u2019n loopneus en klein wit kolletjies op die wange kom eerste voor.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Uitslag in die gesig en nek kom gewoonlik \u2019n paar dae later voor. Di\u00e9 uitslag is klein, rooi en plat kolle oor die hele liggaam en vorm nie sere nie, maar is ook nie jeukerig of pynlik nie.<\/p>\n
Die uitslag sal die voete en hande uiteindelik oor drie dae bereik.<\/p>\n
\n Gevare <\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Oninge\u00ebnte kinders of kinders wat nie immuun is teen die virus nie, het \u2019n ho\u00ebr risiko om masels op te doen, asook erge simptome te ervaar. Oninge\u00ebnte swanger vroue is ook in gevaar. Enigiemand wat nie teen masels inge\u00ebnt is nie, of wel inge\u00ebnt is, maar nie immuniteit teen die virus opgebou het nie, loop die gevaar om deur die virus geraak te word.<\/p>\n
\n Behandeling<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Geen spesifieke antivirale behandeling bestaan vir die maselsvirus nie. Erge komplikasies weens masels kan vermy word deur ondersteunende behandeling, soos \u2019n goeie en gesonde dieet, voldoende vloeistofinname en behandeling vir dehidrasie.<\/p>\n
Parasetamol en warm water word vir \u2019n ho\u00eb koors aanbeveel. Antibiotika kan deur \u2019n gesondheidspraktisyn verskaf word om \u2019n moontlike oog- of oorinfeksie en longontsteking te behandel.<\/p>\n
\n Voorkoming<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Roetine-inentings vir kinders verminder die kanse om masels te kry.<\/p>\n
Die maselsentstof word reeds meer as 50 jaar gebruik. Dit is veilig, doeltreffend en goedkoop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
