Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Rheumatology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection prevalence has risen globally, including Europe and the USA, due to viral mutations.
  • Understanding CHIKV's epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical spectrum is crucial for practitioners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical features of Chikungunya virus infection.
  • To highlight the challenges in managing chronic rheumatic manifestations and the need for effective treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on Chikungunya virus infection.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations, risk factors, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • CHIKV infection presents acutely with fever, arthralgia, and rash, potentially leading to chronic rheumatic conditions.
  • Chronic symptoms can mimic inflammatory rheumatism like rheumatoid arthritis, with older age identified as a risk factor for persistent joint pain.
  • High disability rates are associated with chronic CHIKV symptoms, and effective treatments are currently limited.

Conclusions:

  • Despite low mortality, CHIKV infection causes significant long-term disability due to chronic joint pain.
  • There is an urgent need for data on treating CHIKV-induced chronic arthritis and for developing vaccines and antiviral drugs.
