ወቅታዊ ጉንፋን እና ጉንፋን መሰል የመተፈንሻ አካላት ህመም
የጉንፋን ሕመም በተፈጥሮ የላይኛውን የመተንፈሻ የሰውነት ክፍሎች ማለትም አፍንጫን፣ ጎሮሮን እና የአየር መተላለፊያ ባንቧን የሚያጠቃ ተላላፊ ሕመም ነዉ።

‘ሪኖ ቫይረስ’  ለጉንፉን መከሰት ዋና ምክንያት ሲሆን፣ ኮሮና፣ ኢንፍሉዌንዛ፣ ፓራ ኢንፍሉዌንዛ፣ አር ኤስ ቪ(RSV) ቫይረሶች ደግሞ ለጉንፉን መሰል ህመሞች መከሰት ዋና  ዋና ምክንያቶች ናቸዉ። ከተጠቀሱት ቫይረሶችም ለጉንፋን ሕመም መከሰት 50 በመቶ ድርሻውን የሚይዘው ሪኖ ቫይረስ ነው፡፡ በደረቅ ነፋሳማ ወቅት የአፍንጫ የውስጠኛው ስስ ሽፋን “ሙከስ መምብሬን” ስለሚደርቅ የጉንፋን ሕመም እና ተላላፊነቱ ይጨምራል፡፡ የክረምት ወራት ወይም የዝናብ ወቅት ማብቃቱን ተከትሎ መስከረምን ጨምሮ በጥቅምትና ህዳር ወራት እንደዚህ አይነት ጉንፋን መሰል ህመም የሚጠበቅ ነው፡፡

ሕመሙ ከሰው ወደ ሰው የሚተላለፈውም በቫይረሱ የተጠቃ ሰው በሚያስልበት ወይም በሚያስነጥስበት ጊዜ እንደሆነና በተጨማሪም ሰዎች ቫይረሱ ያረፈበትን የበር እጀታ፣ ጠረጴዛ ወይም በሕመምተኛው የተነካካንን ሰው እጅ ከነኩ በኋላ አፋቸውንና አፍንጫቸውን ሲነካኩ ቫይረሱ ለመተላለፍ በሚፈጠርለት ምቹ ሁኔታ ነው።

የጉንፋን ሕመም የመጀመሪያ ምልክቱ ከመጀመሩ አንድ ቀን በፊት ተላላፊ ሊሆን ይችላል፤ ሕመሙ ከጀመረ ከ 5 እስከ 10 ባሉት ቀናት ደግሞ ሕመምተኛው ቫይረሱን ያስተላልፋል። ህመሙ አብዛኛዉን ጊዜ እስከ 2 ሳምንት ሊቆይ ይችላል። ምልክቶቹም እንደ የአፍንጫ ፈሳሽ መብዛት፣ ሳል፣ ትኩሳት፣ ራስ ምታትና ጉሮሮን መከርከር፣ ማስነጠስ፣ አይን ማሳከክ እና መቅላት፣ ማስታወክ፣ ከፍ ሲልም የትንፋሽ ማጠር፣ ከፍተኛ ድካምና የምግብ ፍላጎት መቀነስ ዋና ዋናዎቹ ናቸዉ።


አስፈላጊው ጥንቃቄ ካልተደረገ በሽታው የመዛመት እድሉ ከፍ ሊል እንደሚችል፤ በተለይ ቀዳሚ ተጎጅ የሚሆኑትህጻናትና አረጋውያን ናቸው፡፡ በተለይ ደግሞ  እንደ አስም፣ የስኳር በሽታ፣ ካንሰር እና ሌሎች ሥር የሰደዱ ተጓዳኝ የጤና ችግር ያሉባቸው ሕሙማን  ከፍተኛ ጥንቃቄ ልናደርግላቸው እና ወደ ጤና ተቋማት በመሄድ አስፈላጊዉን ምርመራና ህክምና ሊያደርጉ ይገባል፡፡ በተጨማሪም የጉንፋን ሕመም የጆሮ ኢንፌክሽን እና የሳንባ ምች ሕመምን ጨምሮ ለተለያዩ ሕመሞች ተጋላጭ ሊያደርግ ይችላል፡፡

ጉንፋን መሰል በሽታን ከምንከላከልባቸው መንገዶች መካከልም የእጅ ንጽህናን መጠበቅ፣ ሰዎች በተሰበሰቡበት ቦታ የአፍና አፍንጫ ጭምብል(ማስክ) በማድረግና በዕለት ኑሯችን የምንጠቀምባቸውን በከባቢዎቻችን የሚገኙ ቁሳቁሶችን ማጽዳት እና የብዙሃን ማጓጓዣ ትራንስፖርት ላይ መስኮቶችን በመክፈት በቂ የአየር ዝዉዉር እንዲኖር በማድረግ የበሽታዉን የመተላለፍ ዕድል መቀነስ ይቻላል፡፡  የበሽታው ምልክት የሚታይበት ሰው በፍጥነት በአቅራቢያው ወደሚገኝ የጤና ተቋም በመሄድ አስፈላጊውን የህክምና ምክር አና ዕርዳታ ማግኘት አለበት፡፡

እንኳን ለብርሃነ ልደቱ በሰላም አደረሳችሁ!
መልካም በዓል!!
