Clinical Significance
Chikungunya virus is a mosquito-borne alphavirus associated with febrile illness in Africa, the Indian Ocean islands, India, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean. Symptoms include severe arthralgia, rash, and headache. U.S. cases have been associated with international travel to countries with endemic Chikungunya virus. Detection of Chikungunya virus antibodies is a reliable indicator of Chikungunya virus infection. IgM detection suggests infection within the previous 3 months.
