Świnka
Charakterystyka, pielęgnacja i opieka

Świnka (parotitis epidemica) to wysoce zakaźna choroba wirusowa wywoływana przez paramyksowirus, charakteryzująca się obrzękiem i bolesnym powiększeniem ślinianek przyusznych. Okres inkubacji wynosi 16-18 dni (zakres 12-25 dni), a zakaźność trwa od kilku dni przed objawami do 5-9 dni po wystąpieniu obrzęku. Diagnostyka opiera się na obrazie klinicznym oraz badaniach serologicznych i PCR z wymazu z policzka. Powikłania, częstsze u dorosłych, obejmują aseptyczne zapalenie opon mózgowo-rdzeniowych, zapalenie mózgu, orchitis (3-10% mężczyzn po dojrzewaniu), oophoritis (~1% kobiet), zapalenie trzustki, utratę słuchu oraz rzadziej zapalenie stawów, nerek i mięśnia sercowego. Leczenie jest objawowe, z zastosowaniem paracetamolu lub ibuprofenu, odpowiedniego nawodnienia i diety lekkostrawnej, unikania pokarmów kwaśnych oraz odpoczynku. Izolacja pacjenta powinna trwać 5 dni od początku obrzęku ślinianek, a personel medyczny bez odporności wymaga wyłączenia z pracy od 10-12 do 25 dni po ekspozycji.

Wprowadzenie do choroby wirusowej – Świnka (Mumps)

Świnka (łac. parotitis epidemica) jest wysoce zaraźliwą chorobą wirusową wywoływaną przez wirus świnki należący do rodziny paramyksowirusów. Choroba charakteryzuje się przede wszystkim obrzękiem i bolesnym powiększeniem ślinianek przyusznych, zlokalizowanych w okolicy uszu, na linii żuchwy.12 Zakażenie zwykle objawia się prodromem, który obejmuje gorączkę, ból głowy, zmęczenie, utratę apetytu i ogólne złe samopoczucie, po którym następuje charakterystyczne zapalenie ślinianek.3 Chociaż świnka jest często chorobą samoograniczającą się, z której większość pacjentów powraca do zdrowia bez powikłań, to w niektórych przypadkach może prowadzić do poważnych komplikacji, takich jak zapalenie opon mózgowo-rdzeniowych, zapalenie jąder, zapalenie jajników czy zapalenie trzustki.4

Choroba rozprzestrzenia się poprzez kontakt bezpośredni z wydzielinami z dróg oddechowych osoby zakażonej lub poprzez kropelki powstające podczas kaszlu i kichania. Okres zakaźności zaczyna się zwykle na kilka dni przed wystąpieniem objawów i utrzymuje się do około 5-9 dni po pojawieniu się obrzęku ślinianek.56 Przed wprowadzeniem powszechnych szczepień świnka była powszechną chorobą wieku dziecięcego, jednak obecnie, dzięki szczepieniom, częstość występowania tej choroby znacznie spadła.7

Objawy kliniczne i diagnoza świnki

Świnka zazwyczaj objawia się po okresie inkubacji trwającym 16-18 dni (zakres 12-25 dni) od momentu ekspozycji na wirusa.8 Początkowe objawy są niespecyficzne i mogą obejmować:

  • Gorączkę
  • Ból głowy
  • Bóle mięśniowe
  • Zmęczenie i ogólne złe samopoczucie
  • Utratę apetytu

910

Charakterystycznym objawem świnki jest zapalenie ślinianek przyusznych (parotitis), które powoduje obrzęk i bolesność w okolicy poniżej uszu i wzdłuż linii żuchwy. Obrzęk może być jednostronny lub obustronny, a szczyt osiąga zwykle po 1-3 dniach i może utrzymywać się do 10 dni.11 U pacjentów z zapaleniem ślinianek często występuje ból podczas żucia i przełykania, co może prowadzić do trudności w przyjmowaniu pokarmów.12

Diagnoza świnki często opiera się na charakterystycznych objawach klinicznych oraz historii ekspozycji na wirusa. Lekarz może zdiagnozować świnkę na podstawie typowych objawów i znanej ekspozycji na zakażenie.13 Diagnoza może być potwierdzona badaniami laboratoryjnymi, w tym:

  • Badaniem krwi w kierunku przeciwciał przeciwko wirusowi świnki
  • Wymazem z policzka w celu wykrycia wirusa metodą PCR (preferowany test diagnostyczny)

1415

Należy pamiętać, że ujemny wynik testu nie wyklucza zakażenia świnką.16 W przypadku podejrzenia świnki, należy natychmiast powiadomić lokalne władze sanitarno-epidemiologiczne, ponieważ jest to choroba podlegająca obowiązkowi zgłaszania.1718

Potencjalne powikłania świnki

Chociaż świnka jest zazwyczaj chorobą łagodną, mogą wystąpić powikłania, szczególnie u dorosłych. Do najczęstszych powikłań należą:1920

  • Zapalenie opon mózgowo-rdzeniowych (aseptyczne) – zapalenie błon otaczających mózg i rdzeń kręgowy
  • Zapalenie mózgu – zapalenie tkanki mózgowej, które może prowadzić do trwałego uszkodzenia
  • Zapalenie jąder (orchitis) – występuje u 3-10% mężczyzn po okresie dojrzewania, w rzadkich przypadkach może prowadzić do niepłodności
  • Zapalenie jajników (oophoritis) – występuje u około 1% kobiet po okresie dojrzewania
  • Zapalenie trzustki – powodujące ból brzucha i inne objawy
  • Utrata słuchu – czasowa lub trwała
  • Zapalenie stawów, zapalenie nerek i zapalenie mięśnia sercowego – rzadziej występujące powikłania

212223

Powikłania świnki występują częściej u dorosłych niż u dzieci.24 Ponad połowa zgonów związanych ze świnką występuje u osób powyżej 19 roku życia.25

Leczenie świnki – podejście pielęgniarskie

Nie istnieje specyficzne leczenie przeciwwirusowe świnki. Choroba jest zwykle samoograniczająca się, a większość pacjentów wraca do zdrowia w ciągu 3-10 dni.26 Opieka pielęgniarska koncentruje się na łagodzeniu objawów, zapobieganiu powikłaniom i edukacji pacjenta. Leczenie objawowe i wspomagające obejmuje:2728

Podejście farmakologiczne

Leczenie farmakologiczne ma charakter wyłącznie objawowy i obejmuje:2930

  • Leki przeciwbólowe i przeciwgorączkowe – paracetamol lub ibuprofen w celu złagodzenia bólu i obniżenia gorączki. Należy pamiętać, że aspiryna nie powinna być podawana dzieciom poniżej 16 roku życia ze względu na ryzyko zespołu Reye’a.
  • Płukanki solne – do łagodzenia bólu gardła.
  • Silniejsze leki przeciwbólowe – mogą być potrzebne u pacjentów z zapaleniem jąder lub innymi poważnymi powikłaniami.

313233

Zalecenia dietetyczne i nawodnienie

Odpowiednie nawodnienie i odżywianie pacjentów jest kluczowe w leczeniu świnki:3435

  • Obfite nawodnienie – zachęcanie do przyjmowania dużej ilości płynów, aby zapobiec odwodnieniu.
  • Dieta lekkostrawna – rekomendacja potraw łatwych do żucia i przełykania, takich jak zupy, kasze czy purée z warzyw.
  • Unikanie pokarmów i płynów kwaśnych – np. soków cytrusowych, pomidorów, produktów zawierających ocet, które mogą nasilać ból przy przełykaniu i podrażniać błonę śluzową jamy ustnej.
  • Posiłki miękkie i łatwe do przełykania – aby zminimalizować dyskomfort związany z żuciem.

363738

Zalecenia dotyczące odpoczynku i aktywności

Pacjentom z świnką zaleca się:3940

  • Odpoczynek w łóżku – szczególnie w pierwszych dniach choroby, aby przyspieszyć powrót do zdrowia.
  • Unikanie aktywności fizycznej – do czasu ustąpienia objawów.
  • Wsparcie moszny – u mężczyzn z zapaleniem jąder zaleca się podtrzymywanie moszny i stosowanie zimnych okładów w celu złagodzenia bólu.

4142

Leczenie miejscowe

W celu złagodzenia bólu i obrzęku ślinianek przyusznych można stosować:4344

  • Okłady ciepłe lub zimne – na opuchnięte śliniaki, w zależności od tego, co przynosi większą ulgę pacjentowi.
  • Delikatny masaż okolicy ślinianek – jeśli nie powoduje bólu.

4546

6667

W przypadkach ciężkich powikłań, pacjenci mogą wymagać hospitalizacji w celu stabilizacji płynowej, zarządzania bólem i ścisłej obserwacji. Może być konieczna konsultacja specjalistyczna z zakresu chorób zakaźnych, neurologii, kardiologii, gastroenterologii lub urologii.68

Profilaktyka świnki – rola pielęgniarki

Profilaktyka świnki opiera się przede wszystkim na szczepieniach. Pielęgniarka odgrywa kluczową rolę w edukacji na temat szczepień i ich promocji:6970

Szczepienia przeciwko śwince

Szczepienie przeciwko śwince jest najskuteczniejszą metodą zapobiegania chorobie i jej powikłaniom:7172

  • Schemat szczepień: Szczepionka przeciwko śwince jest zwykle podawana jako część szczepionki skojarzonej MMR (przeciwko odrze, śwince i różyczce) lub MMRV (przeciwko odrze, śwince, różyczce i ospie wietrznej).
  • Zalecany harmonogram:
    • Pierwsza dawka: w wieku 12-15 miesięcy
    • Druga dawka: w wieku 4-6 lat (przed rozpoczęciem szkoły)
  • Szczepienia dla nastolatków i dorosłych: Osoby, które nie otrzymały dwóch dawek szczepionki lub nie przebyły choroby, powinny uzupełnić szczepienia.
  • Szczepienia dla personelu medycznego: Zaleca się, aby cały personel medyczny miał udokumentowaną odporność na świnkę (dwie dawki szczepionki MMR lub potwierdzone serologicznie przeciwciała).

737475

W czasie epidemii świnki, CDC i ACIP mogą zalecić podanie dodatkowej dawki szczepionki osobom z grupy ryzyka, które wcześniej otrzymały dwie dawki.76

Przeciwwskazania do szczepień

Szczepionka przeciwko śwince nie powinna być podawana osobom:7778

  • Z ciężkim niedoborem odporności
  • W ciąży
  • Z historią reakcji anafilaktycznej na wcześniejszą dawkę szczepionki lub jej składniki
  • Z alergią na neomycynę
  • Z ciężką chorobą gorączkową (szczepienie należy odroczyć do wyzdrowienia)

7980

Osoby z historią reakcji anafilaktycznych po spożyciu jaj powinny być szczepione z zachowaniem ostrożności, ponieważ szczepionka jest produkowana na zarodkach kurzych.81

Dodatkowe środki profilaktyczne

Oprócz szczepień, pielęgniarka powinna edukować pacjentów na temat innych środków zapobiegawczych:8283

  • Higiena rąk – regularne mycie rąk wodą z mydłem, szczególnie przed jedzeniem i po kaszlu lub kichaniu.
  • Etykieta oddechowa – zakrywanie ust i nosa podczas kaszlu lub kichania, używanie jednorazowych chusteczek.
  • Unikanie bliskiego kontaktu – z osobami chorymi na świnkę lub podejrzanymi o zakażenie.
  • Izolacja osób chorych – osoby ze świnką powinny pozostać w domu przez 5 dni od początku obrzęku ślinianek.
  • Niedzielenie się przedmiotami osobistymi – unikanie współdzielenia naczyń, sztućców i innych przedmiotów osobistych.

    Mumps is an infection caused by a virus. It can infect many parts of the body, but is best known for causing swelling of the parotid glands. These glands, which make saliva (spit), are in front of the ear, around the jaw. […] There’s no specific medical treatment for mumps. To help manage symptoms: […] Give your child plenty of fluids and soft foods that are easy to chew. Don’t give tart or acidic fruit juices (like orange juice, grapefruit juice, or lemonade) that can make parotid gland pain worse. […] Kids with mumps should stay home for 5 days from the start of parotid gland swelling. Ask your doctor about when your child can return to school or childcare. […] The best way to protect your kids is to make sure they’re immunized against mumps. […] Sometimes people who have been vaccinated still get mumps. But their symptoms will be much milder than if they had not gotten the vaccine. […] Call the doctor right away if your child has mumps and: […] Watch for belly pain. It can be a sign of problems with the pancreas in either boys or girls, or the ovaries in girls. In boys, watch for high fever with pain and swelling of the testicles.

    Mumps is a contagious disease caused by a virus. The classic symptom of mumps is swelling of the salivary glands under the ears, resulting in a tender, swollen jaw. […] In children, mumps is usually a mild disease. However, mumps can occasionally cause complications, especially in adults. Complications include: Meningitis (infection of the covering of the brain and spinal cord), Deafness (temporary or permanent), Encephalitis (swelling of the brain), Orchitis (swelling of the testicles) in males who have reached puberty, Oophoritis (swelling of the ovaries) and/or mastitis (swelling of the breasts) in females who have reached puberty. […] Most people with mumps recover completely in a few weeks. […] There is no specific treatment for mumps. Care of patients with mumps consists mainly of ensuring adequate intake of fluids, bed rest, and fever control.

    Mumps is an acute infectious viral disease that can cause swelling and tenderness of the salivary glands in the cheeks and jaw. […] One dose of mumps vaccine, given in combination with measles and rubella (called MMR), is recommended for all children at 12 to 15 months and a second dose at 4 to 6 years of age. The vaccine usually produces life-long immunity. […] In addition, persons who are ill with mumps should limit their contact with others in the community for up to five days after their onset of symptoms when they are most likely to easily transmit the virus to others through their saliva. […] There is no specific treatment for mumps. Analgesics and regular rinsing of the mouth are recommended to relieve symptoms.

    Mumps is caused by a paramyxovirus. The incubation period is usually 16 to 18 days (range 12 to 25 days) from exposure to onset of signs and symptoms. Some patients have very mild or no symptoms and may not know they have the infection. Mumps typically starts with a few days of fever, headache, myalgia, fatigue, and anorexia. Patients may then experience unilateral or bilateral swelling of the salivary glands (parotitis). Parotitis typically reaches its peak level after 1 to 3 days and may last up to 10 days. […] Mumps should be suspected in patients with typical clinical manifestations, such as parotitis or other salivary gland swelling, orchitis, or oophoritis, and relevant epidemiologic exposure with an individual with known or suspected mumps.

    Mumps is caused by a paramyxovirus. The incubation period is usually 16 to 18 days (range 12 to 25 days) from exposure to onset of signs and symptoms. Some patients have very mild or no symptoms and may not know they have the infection. Mumps typically starts with a few days of fever, headache, myalgia, fatigue, and anorexia. Patients may then experience unilateral or bilateral swelling of the salivary glands (parotitis). Parotitis typically reaches its peak level after 1 to 3 days and may last up to 10 days. […] Mumps should be suspected in patients with typical clinical manifestations, such as parotitis or other salivary gland swelling, orchitis, or oophoritis, and relevant epidemiologic exposure with an individual with known or suspected mumps. Individuals who are known to be unimmunized are at highest risk for infection, though mumps should also be suspected among vaccinated individuals with relevant symptoms and epidemiologic exposure. Patients being evaluated for mumps should be placed on droplet precautions.

    Mumps is a contagious viral infection that used to be common in children before the introduction of the MMR vaccine. […] It’s important to contact a GP if you suspect mumps so a diagnosis can be made. […] Your GP can usually make a diagnosis after seeing and feeling the swelling, looking at the position of the tonsils in the mouth and checking the person’s temperature to see if it’s higher than normal. […] If your GP suspects mumps, they should notify your local health protection team (HPT). The HPT will arrange for a sample of saliva to be tested to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. […] You can protect your child against mumps by making sure they’re given the combined MMR vaccine for mumps, measles and rubella. […] Treatment is used to relieve symptoms and includes: getting plenty of bed rest and fluids, using painkillers, such as ibuprofen and paracetamol – aspirin should not be given to children under 16, applying a warm or cool compress to the swollen glands to help relieve pain. […] Mumps usually passes without causing serious damage to a person’s health. Serious complications are rare. […] But mumps can lead to viral meningitis if the virus moves into the outer layer of the brain.

    Mumps (Parotitis) is an acute viral disease characterized by tenderness and swelling of one or both of the parotid glands and/or the other salivary glands. Mumps is transmitted by direct contact (saliva) and droplet, typically from an infected person. The time of communicability most commonly occurs immediately before and after swelling begins. The incubation period is 14 to 21 days. […] Children need to be isolated during the period of communicability by using droplet and contact precautions, if hospitalized. […] About half of postpubertal boys will develop inflammation of the testes. To relieve discomfort, provide warmth and local scrotal support with underpants that provide lifting and support of the testicles. […] There is no cure for this disease and the best treatment is prevention via vaccine. The vaccine is a two part vaccine for Measles, Mumps and Rubella. The first dose is given between the ages of 12-15 months and the second dose between ages 4-6 years old. This vaccine is usually required prior to enrollment in school.
