W\u00eareldtuberkulosedag (24 Maart) was \u2019n dag van feesviering by die Avianpark-kliniek, waar Breedevallei-inwoners meer geleer het oor di\u00e9 bakterie, volgens Sandra Maritz, woordvoerder van die Wes-Kaapse departement van gesondheid.<\/p>\n
Pasi\u00ebnte wat in Maart hul behandeling voltooi het, is vereer omdat hulle saam met gesondheidswerkers gewerk het deur getrou hul medikasie te neem.<\/p>\n
Twee van die jongste pasi\u00ebnte wat sertifikate ontvang het, is Esm\u00e9 Lekay se seuns, Conze (4) en Keano (1).<\/p>\n
Esm\u00e9 het opgelet dat Conze se asma erger as voorheen is, en haar seuns na die kliniek gevat.<\/p>\n
Hulle is positief getoets vir tuberkulose (TB) en het vir die afgelope ses maande soggens en saans pille gedrink. \u2019n Buurman het TB gehad, so sy was nie verbaas toe haar seuns positief getoets is nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het voorheen al TB gehad, so ek het geweet hulle sal oukei wees. Dit was nie so moeilik vir Conze om sy medisyne te drink nie, maar wel vir Keano,\u201d het Esm\u00e9 verduidelik.<\/p>\n
Die Wes-Kaapse gesondheidsdepartement vra dat almal soos Esm\u00e9 vinnig moet optree sodat lewens gered kan word.<\/p>\n
By die W\u00eareld-TB-dag-geleentheid het suster Anina Engelbrecht aan die gaste verduidelik dat die volgende simptome TB-verwant kan wees:. <\/span>Erge sweet snags of koorsig vir twee weke of langer;.<\/span> \u2019n Aanhoudende hoes vir twee weke of langer;.<\/span> \u2019n Gebrek aan eetlus en gewigsverlies;.<\/span> As jy bloed uithoes of bloed in jou spoeg het; en.<\/span> Kortasem of pyn op jou bors.<\/p>\n Mense wat een of meer van hierdie simptome het, moet dadelik \u2019n kliniek besoek.<\/p>\n Gesondheidswerkers gebruik sputum-toetse of X-strale om te bepaal of iemand TB het, en daardie mense moet dan vir minstens ses maande medikasie gebruik, selfs al voel hulle beter voor die tydperk verby is. <\/p>\n Engelbrecht het blinkertjies gebruik om te illustreer dat TB versprei wanneer jy hoes. <\/p>\n \u201cJy kan dit nie sien nie, maar ander mense asem daardie kieme in en word siek,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n Mense kan hulself teen TB beskerm deur altyd vensters en deure oop te maak vir vars lug, en in jou gebuigde arm te hoes.<\/p>\n In die Breedevallei en Drakenstein is daar tans 2 336 mense wat vir TB behandel word, in die Langeberg 1 509, en in die Witzenberg 1 339.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" W\u00eareldtuberkulosedag (24 Maart) was \u2019n dag van feesviering by die Avianpark-kliniek, waar Breedevallei-inwoners meer geleer het oor
