I-Chancroid isifo esithathelwana ngocansi (STI) esisuka kubhaktheriya. Nakuba siyivelakancane eFrance, lesi sifo esithathelwana ngobulili (STD) sisasakazekile kwezinye izindawo zomhlaba.

Ebizwa nangokuthi i-chancre noma i-Ducrey's chancre, i-chancroid isifo esithathelwana ngocansi (STD), noma ngaphezulu ncamashi isifo esithathelwana ngocansi (STI).

I-Chancroid i-STI yemvelaphi yebhaktheriya. Kungenxa yamagciwane Hemophilus ducreyi, eyaziwa kangcono ngokuthi i-Ducrey's bacillus. Lesi sifo esithathelwanayo sithathelwana ngesikhathi socansi olungavikelekile, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi lunjani, phakathi kwabalingani ababili.

I-Chancroid i-STD engathinta bobabili ubulili. Noma kunjalo, imiphumela yalokhu kutheleleka ihlukile phakathi kwabesilisa nabesifazane. I-Chancroid emadodeni ibuhlungu kakhulu kunabesifazane. Kungalesi sizathu ukuthi kutholakala kalula futhi kaningi emadodeni kunakwabesifazane.

EFrance naseYurophu, amacala e-chancroid awavamile. Lesi sifo esithathelwana ngocansi sivame kakhulu emazweni ashisayo nashisayo, kuhlanganisa namanye amazwe ase-Afrika, eNingizimu Melika nase-Asia.

Isikhathi sokufukamela sale STD sifushane. Ivamise ukuthatha phakathi kwezinsuku ezi-2 nezi-5 kodwa ngezinye izikhathi inganwebeka kuze kube amasonto amabili. Njengoba ikhula, i-chancroid ibangela:

• izilonda zesikhumba, ebonakala ngokubonakala kwezilonda ezihlukahlukene, okungenzeka ikakhulukazi imbangela ye-paraphimosis, ukuklinywa kwe-glans kubantu;
• i-lymphadenopathy, okungukuthi, ukuvuvukala kwama-lymph nodes, okungabangela ithumba.

I-Chancroid ibonakala njengezilonda zesikhumba ngokubonakala kwezilonda eziningi. Lokhu kungenzeka ngo:

• izitho zangasese zowesilisa zangaphandle njenge-glans, ijwabu noma umgodla;
• isitho sangasese sowesifazane sangaphakathi njengesitho sangasese sowesifazane;
• wembobo yendunu.

Ukuvimbela i-chancroid kusekelwe ku:

• ukuvikeleka okwanele ngesikhathi sokuya ocansini, ikakhulukazi ngokugqoka amakhondomu, ukunciphisa ingozi yokutheleleka;
• inhlanzeko yomuntu siqu ukuze anciphise ukukhula kwamagciwane Hemophilus ducreyi.

Esimeni sokungabaza noma ucansi oluyingozi, ukuhlolwa kokuhlolwa kuyanconywa. Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe ngokuhlolwa kwe-STD/STI, ungathola ulwazi ku:

• uchwepheshe wezempilo njengodokotela ojwayelekile, udokotela wezifo zabesifazane noma umbelethisi;
• ulwazi lwamahhala, isikhungo sokuhlola nokuxilonga (i-CeGIDD);
• isikhungo sokuhlela nemfundo (CPEF).

I-Chancroid idinga ukutholwa kusenesikhathi ukuze kuncishiswe ubungozi bezinkinga nokutheleleka. Ukuxilongwa kwe-chancroid kwenziwa ngokuhlolwa kwe-bacteriological. Lokhu kwenza kube nokwenzeka ukuhlukanisa i-chancroid kwamanye ama-pathologies. Ngempela, zikhona ezinye izifo ezingabangela i-chancre kodwa izici zazo zihlukile. I-Chancroid ngezinye izikhathi ididaniswa ne-primary syphilis, i-herpes yobulili, isifo sika-Nicolas-Favre noma i-donvanosis.

Ukwelashwa kwe-chancroid kusekelwe ikakhulukazi ekwelashweni kwama-antibiotic. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukubulala noma ukukhawulela ukukhula kwamagciwane e-pathogenic bacteria. Uma i-penicillin ingasebenzi ngokumelene namagciwane Hemophilus ducreyi, amanye ama-antibiotics aye abonakala ephumelela ekwelapheni i-chancroid:

• i-cotrimoxazole;
• ama-macrolides;
• ama-fluoroquinolones;
• I-cephalosporins yesizukulwane sesithathu.

Ezimweni ze-lymphadenopathy ehambisana ne-chancroid, ukugeleza kwamanzi okuhlinzwa kungase kudingeke.
