Mkuu wangu mbona unachanganya lugha wewe nambie hiyo common uloitumia kwa kiswahili utasema nini? au neno kawaida wewe unalichukulia vipi ktk magonjwa..Dr. kaongezea kusema:- "If you open a skin clinic in this city, for example, at least three people will seek treatment for scleroderma within two to three weeks," Sasa walishindwa vipi kutambua mwanzoni..Mkandara,
Hawa madaktari hawajasema ni ugonjwa wa kawaida, wamesema ni common kwa maana watu wengi wanaumwa ugonjwa huo.
Kama ni kweli basi hii ya Mwakyembe isaidia kutangaza ugonjwa huu ili hata madaktari wa wilayani wajue namna ya kuutambua na kutibu badala ya watu kuumia hasa kwa huko wilayani.
Hata ukisoma maelezo ya ugonjwa huo kwa nchi kama USA wanasema hivyo hivyo kwamba ni common na ukiwahi unaponyeka.

Dar es Salaam. The disease that deputy minister for Works Dr Harrison Mwakyembe has been battling for almost six months, is fairly widespread in Tanzania, but is only now becoming a subject of public discussion.
Medical experts say that on average, between two and five people seek treatment for scleroderma at clinics in Dar es Salaam Region at three-weekly intervals, which they suggest represents a countrywide prevalence trend .
Up to last Monday when Dr Mwakyembe disclosed that he was suffering from scleroderma ‑ a chronic condition that causes inflammation and thickening of the skin knowledge or awareness of the disease was confined to a relatively small circle of doctors, medical students, patients and their relatives.
It has now become a subject of wider public interest in the wake of the controversy that has marked the deputy ministers health status, triggered, primarily, by allegations that he had been poisoned by individuals that neither he nor political allies who support the theory, have named.
The controversy persists, because simultaneous to telling journalists at a briefing session in the city that doctors at Apollo Hospital in India had diagnosed popular scleroderma as the ailment that was troubling him, he called on the government team investigating the issue to speed it up. Medical doctors who spoke to The Citizen yesterday confirmed that the disease was fairly common in the country, but noted that its effects spread slowly.
Dr Isaac Maro of the Infectious Diseases Centre in Dar es Salaam confirmed that many Tanzanian are suffering from the disease, whose causes health experts had not established.If you open a skin clinic in this city, for example, at least three people will seek treatment for scleroderma within two to three weeks, he said.
The disease is an autoimmune, rheumatic, and chronic affliction that affects the body by hardening connective tissues. Literally, scleroderma means hard skin.
It is classified as an autoimmune disease, which means that a persons immune system works against itself. Its severity varies from person to person: it can be a mild annoyance or it can cause significant clinical problems.
For others, it can become life threatening. Dr Maro cited the case of a scleroderma patient he had attended over the past two years, but whose condition didnt seem serious. Doctors say treatment of the disease takes a long time, and that, if it is not administered at early stages, the disease affects internal body organs like lungs.
Another skin consultant doctor volunteered to comment on the disease but on condition of remaining anonymous, as a safeguard against being associated with the controversial dimension to Dr Mwakyembes illness. He said several people suffering from the disease attended his clinic in Dar es Salaam, adding that, it was afflicting many others all over the country, but very few of whom sought treatment, especially those living in villages. Scleroderma starts by affecting hands and face, but seldom affects hair; and sometimes penetrates internal organs at advanced stages.

JAMANI WANA JF SIOKILA ANAYEJIITA DR. AAMINIKE ANACHOKISEMA. HUYU ISAACK MARO NI KWELI ALISOMEA UDOKTA LAKINI HAKUWAHI KUJIHUSISHA NA KUTIBU WAGONJWA HATA MARA MOJA TOKA AMALIZE PALE HUHIMBILI MWAKA 2006.
SASA HIYO ANALYSIS KAIFANYA LINI NA WAPI. KWA UHAKIKA KABISA MIMI NAAMINI HAJAWAHI KUKUTANA NA MGONJWA MWENYE SCLERODERMA KAMA AMBAVYO MIMI SJAWAHI KUKUTANA NAO PAMOJA NA KUWEPO MUHIMBILI ZAIDI YA MIAKA KUMI SASA. NIMJUAVYO DR ISAACK NIMTANGAZAJI WA CLOUDS FM AKITANGAZA VIPINDI VYA JAHAZI NA AFYA CLUB OR SOMETHING. AACHE KUTOA TAKWIMU ZA UWONGO AS THE DISEASE IS EXTREMLY RARE ESPECIALY IN AFRICA.
Sii kweli Zitto alikuwa na maradhi zaidi ya Malaria.. ama hukumsoma vizuri alipokuwa India akisubiri kufanyiwa operation ndogo....nasema uongo? Kushindwa kutibiwa ni tofauti na kushindwa kugundua ugonjwa ambao ni common. Pia kuna swala la hospital moja kushindwa na sio madaktari wetu bingwa kushindwa kugundua ugonjwa ambao tayari umeanza kuathiri ngozi na kumnyoyoa nywele..Hakuna hata cha kushangaza kuwa kenda kutibiwa India. Zitto Kabwe alienda kutibiwa kipanda uso na malaria India wakati Tanzania ni common na yanatibika
Swala la uwezo lipo, vifaa lipo na kadhalika isipokuwa pale ugonjwa unaposhindikana kujulikana chanzo chake wakati tunaambiwa leo huo ni ugonjwa wa kawaida kabisa yaani wanakutana na wagonjwa kama Mwakyembe kila week...Mbona walishindwa kutuambia siku zile zile alougua akiwa hapa nyumbani hadi leo? Na kama ni wa kawaida hivi kwa nini ilikuwa siri? walikuwa wakificha nini muda wote maana wengine tulianza kufikiria pengine ana ngoma ndio maana wanaficha....Kwa nini walituficha ikiwa ugonjwa ni huu! why take that long!Tusiwashambulia madaktari wetu bila kutafakari.
Prior to Mwakyembe kwenda India, alikuwa anatibiwa kwa takribani miezi mitatu akiwa nyumbani na presumably aliridhika na kwa nini? Huwezi kupata referral kwenda nje bila kupata opinion ya madaktari watatu. Diagnosis yao na za India zina lingana? Kama hazilingani , ni kwa nini? Uwezo?
Mkandara,Sii kweli Zitto alikuwa na maradhi zaidi ya Malaria.. ama hukumsoma vizuri alipokuwa India akisubiri kufanyiwa operation ndogo....nasema uongo? Kushindwa kutibiwa ni tofauti na kushindwa kugundua ugonjwa ambao ni common.
