Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an Old World Alphavirus causing febrile illness with arthralgia and myalgia.
  • While typically not fatal, CHIKV infection can lead to disabling chronic inflammatory rheumatism and atypical manifestations affecting multiple organ systems.
  • CHIKV emerged in the Americas in 2013, rapidly spreading and causing millions of cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the molecular biology, clinical manifestations, and pathogenesis of CHIKV.
  • To highlight significant post-infection complications associated with CHIKV.
  • To compile information on CHIKV outbreaks in Colombia and the Americas from 2014-2020.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of CHIKV molecular biology, clinical aspects, and epidemiology.
  • Synthesis of data on CHIKV post-infection complications.
  • Collection and analysis of published outbreak data from the Americas.

Main Results:

  • CHIKV infection presents with acute symptoms and can progress to chronic inflammatory rheumatism.
  • Atypical manifestations include cardiovascular, respiratory, ocular, renal, and neurological complications.
  • The review details the virus's spread and impact in the Americas, focusing on the Colombian outbreak.

Conclusions:

  • CHIKV poses a significant public health threat due to its potential for widespread outbreaks and long-term sequelae.
  • Understanding CHIKV's diverse clinical spectrum and pathogenesis is crucial for effective disease management.
  • Continued surveillance and research are essential to address the ongoing CHIKV epidemic in the Americas.
