</p></div><div id="article-81.s2"><h2 id="_article-81_s2_">Introduction</h2><p>Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arthropod-borne alphavirus that belongs to the family <i>Togaviridae</i>&#x000a0;transmitted by <i>Aedes</i> mosquitoes. The virus is known for causing an acute febrile illness, rash, and arthralgia known as Chikungunya fever followed by potentially chronic and debilitating arthritic symptoms that may last for months or years.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r1">[1]</a>&#x000a0;Historically, CHIKV was found mainly in Africa and Asia, initially isolated in the Makonde Plateau in Tanzania in 1952.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r2">[2]</a>&#x000a0;The name Chikungunya is derived from a Makonde phrase meaning, "that which bends up." The worst outbreak reported occurred in the Reunion Island in 2005-2006 affecting nearly 35% of the population.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r3">[3]</a>&#x000a0;Since 2005, cases of Chikungunya fever have spread mainly in tropical and sub-tropical regions finally reaching the Americas via the Caribbean island of St. Martin in 2013.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r4">[4]</a>&#x000a0;Today, CHIKV is widespread worldwide and is a global public health concern.</p></div><div id="article-81.s3"><h2 id="_article-81_s3_">Etiology</h2><p>The primary vectors for CHIKV are <i>Aedes aegypti</i><i>&#x000a0;</i>and&#x000a0;<i>A</i><i>e. albopictus&#x000a0;</i>(Asian Tiger mosquito). These mosquitoes have biological characteristics that provide effective invasiveness, vector competence, and vectorial capacity that sets the tone for the global manifestation of Chikungunya fever.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r5">[5]</a>&#x000a0;Invasiveness is highlighted by the species' preference for human blood and its historically-proven ability to establish outside of&#x000a0;their native range. Vector competence is determined by the species' physiological characteristics that allow for transmission, such as virus ingestion with blood meal and subsequent infection of the mosquitoes&#x02019; salivary glands.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r6">[6]</a>&#x000a0;Most importantly, vector capacity determines outbreak potential and is mainly influenced by intrinsic (mosquito infection barriers and genetics) and extrinsic (environmental issues) factors. Vector density in relation to the host, the probability that vector feeds on a host in one day, vector survivability, and extrinsic incubation period are all vector competence factors that determine infectivity directly.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r7">[7]</a></p><p>
<i>Ae. aegypti&#x000a0;</i>has been established in the U.S. for more than 300 years while&#x000a0;<i>Ae. albopictus&#x000a0;</i>has been present since 1985 with different vector characteristics making global expansion of the disease possible. Specifically, CHIKV was found to have adapted to&#x000a0;<i>Ae. albopictus&#x000a0;</i>fairly recently during the Indian Ocean outbreak in 2005-06 when it acquired a mutation in its E1 membrane protein that allowed it to infest the urban mosquito vector.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r8">[8]</a>&#x000a0;In general, the threat to public health posed by&#x000a0;<i>Ae. aegypti&#x000a0;</i>and&#x000a0;<i>Ae. albopictus</i>&#x000a0;mosquitoes is a function of their focused feeding on and association with humans along with the ability of the human host and mosquito vector to travel.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r9">[9]</a></p></div><div id="article-81.s4"><h2 id="_article-81_s4_">Epidemiology</h2><p>CHIKV was first discovered in Tanzania in 1952, has since spread effectively&#x000a0;reaching the Americas in 2013, Florida on July 2014, and severely affecting various Caribbean, Central, and South American countries after that.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r10">[10]</a>&#x000a0;Although the CHIKV virus is considered to be endemic in certain parts of West Africa, global distribution has been facilitated by both human and vector travel. Infected travelers import CHIKV into new areas where&#x000a0;local <i>Aedes</i> mosquitoes initiate local transmission.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r11">[11]</a>&#x000a0;Mosquito larvae and egg transport by ships and air traffic has also been described as dissemination means for mosquitoes into naive and suitable environments.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r12">[12]</a>&#x000a0;Transmission is mostly via mosquito bites, although maternal-fetal and blood product transmission was also described during the Reunion Island outbreaks.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r13">[13]</a></p><p>
<i>Ae. aegypti&#x000a0;</i>and&#x000a0;<i>Ae. albopictus&#x000a0;</i>are also the vectors responsible for other notable diseases such as Dengue and Zika, causing coinfection in some cases.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r14">[14]</a>&#x000a0;Given the similarity in clinical presentation and nearly identical geographic distribution, and differentiation of disease has become an issue.</p></div><div id="article-81.s5"><h2 id="_article-81_s5_">Pathophysiology</h2><p>CHIKV&#x000a0;is known&#x000a0;to transmit in 2 cycles: urban and sylvatic. Urban transmission is from human to mosquito to human and is the main source of the current Western Hemisphere epidemic. Sylvatic transmission can be found in Africa and is based on animal to mosquito to human.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r15">[15]</a>&#x000a0;As mentioned previously, CHIKV was initially transmitted through the vector&#x000a0;<i>Ae. aegypti</i>, but incorporation of&#x000a0;<i>Ae. albopictus&#x000a0;</i>through a mutation in the E1 envelope protein not only increased the fitness of the virus in this species but improved transmissibility to vertebrates.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r16">[16]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r17">[17]</a></p><p>The route of infection used by CHIKV starts after inoculation and infection of human epithelial and endothelial cells, primary fibroblasts, and monocyte-derived macrophages.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r18">[18]</a>&#x000a0;After an initial immune response and sheltering in the lymph nodes, CHIKV travels through the lymphatic and circulatory system causing significant viremia.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r19">[19]</a>&#x000a0;Transportation into target organs (muscles, joints, liver, and brain) has been found to be caused by infected monocyte-derived macrophages.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r18">[18]</a>&#x000a0;Inflammatory reaction mediated by CD8+ (acute), CD4+ T lymphocytes, and pro-inflammatory cytokines are thought to be responsible for the acute symptoms, while a persistent reservoir of infected monocytes in the joints may be responsible for chronic joint disease.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r20">[20]</a></p></div><div id="article-81.s6"><h2 id="_article-81_s6_">Histopathology</h2><p>CHIKV is an arthropod-carried pathogen of the genus alphavirus and the family&#x000a0;<i>Togaviridae&#x000a0;</i>that possesses 3 known genotypes: Asian, West African, and East Central South African.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r21">[21]</a>&#x000a0;The virus is described as a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus, and sensitive to temperatures greater than 58 C.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r17">[17]</a></p></div><div id="article-81.s7"><h2 id="_article-81_s7_">History and Physical</h2><p>Chikungunya fever usually presents with the non-specific findings of high-grade fever and myalgia, following a 3 to 7 day incubation period, and lasting around 3 to 5 days. Bilateral symmetrical polyarthralgia ensues 2 to 5 days after the onset of fevers and preferentially involves distal over proximal joints.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r22">[22]</a>&#x000a0;The hands have&#x000a0;been found to be affected the most with some involvement reported to the axial skeleton, knees, and ankles accompanied by intense pain that lasts between one and three weeks.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r23">[23]</a>&#x000a0;Another common clinical manifestation is a generalized maculopapular rash that usually involves the extremities first and arises 3 days after the fever symptoms.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r24">[24]</a>&#x000a0;Although rare, vesiculobullous and mucocutaneous lesions have also been reported.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r25">[25]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r26">[26]</a></p><p>Manifestations such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and generalized lymphadenopathy may also be found. Although it is not considered to be a neurotropic virus, it has long been associated with neurologic symptoms, with encephalitis among newborns infected through mother-to-child transmission being the most common.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r27">[27]</a>&#x000a0;In a 2018 study in Puerto Rico, red eyes, conjunctivitis, and anterior uveitis were frequently found in patients with Chikungunya fever.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r28">[28]</a>&#x000a0;Other studies have described recurrent retinitis,<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r29">[29]</a>&#x000a0;congenital ocular symptoms,<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r30">[30]</a>&#x000a0;sepsis/septic shock,<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r31">[31]</a>&#x000a0;and renal manifestations.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r32">[32]</a></p></div><div id="article-81.s8"><h2 id="_article-81_s8_">Evaluation</h2><p>Chikungunya fever evaluation consists mainly of the clinical findings of fever and polyarthralgia in a person who recently returned from an affected region with an&#x000a0;84% sensitivity, 71% positive predictive value (PPV), and 83% negative predictive value (NPV).<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r33">[33]</a>&#x000a0;However, overlap of endemic and invaded CHIKV and Dengue virus (DENV) areas makes evaluation and differentiation of disease difficult. CHIKV is more likely to cause high fever, severe arthralgia, arthritis, rash, and lymphopenia, while DENV is more likely to cause neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hemorrhage shock, and death.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r34">[34]</a>&#x000a0;In light of this, WHO recommends treating everyone for DENV until proven otherwise to improve outcomes.&#x000a0;</p><p>Diagnosis of CHIKV can be established or confirmed by detection of viral RNA with serology and/or reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) depending on disease timeframe presentation.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r35">[35]</a>&#x000a0;RT-PCR is mainly used during acute infection, during the first five days of disease for best results. On the other hand, viral serology using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) is used for detection of anti-chikungunya antibodies IgM (present from five days to several weeks) and IgG (present from two weeks to several years), depending on the stage of disease.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r36">[36]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r37">[37]</a>&#x000a0;The CDC and WHO recommend gathering serology for CHIKV, DENV, and Zika virus (ZV) for all patients with suspicious clinical symptoms.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r38">[38]</a></p><p>Chikungunya fever is a nationally notifiable condition.</p></div><div id="article-81.s9"><h2 id="_article-81_s9_">Treatment / Management</h2><p>Symptomatic relief is the mainstay treatment for Chikungunya fever, including adequate hydration, rest, and pain/fever relief preferably with acetaminophen.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r39">[39]</a>&#x000a0;WHO discourages the use of aspirin and most nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during the first 48 hours due to the risk of aggravating platelet dysfunction, especially in cases of possible DENV coinfection. Other studies advocate for the efficacy of low-dose corticosteroid drugs for the first 2 months of post-acute disease.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r40">[40]</a>&#x000a0;Ocular manifestations including anterior and posterior uveitis have been treated with topical steroids and cycloplegics.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r41">[41]</a></p><p>Chronic manifestations, including persistent or relapsing-remitting polyarthralgia, polyarthritis, and myalgia, have been found to respond adequately to hydroxychloroquine in combination with corticosteroids or other disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r42">[42]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r43">[43]</a>&#x000a0;Specific antivirals targeting viral replication using siRNAs<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r44">[44]</a>&#x000a0;and virus entry/replication<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r45">[45]</a>&#x000a0;are showing promising results but have not been approved for human use.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r46">[46]</a></p><p>Management of CHIKV is based on avoidance of mosquito bites. Use of repellents containing DEET, wearing protective clothing, bed nets, and air-conditioned buildings are great ways to prevent exposure.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r47">[47]</a>&#x000a0;Furthermore, prevention of mosquito proliferation should be implemented by reduction of peri-domiciliary water puddles.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r23">[23]</a>&#x000a0;Insecticides have been another means of vector management using four&#x000a0;types of drugs: carbamates, organochlorides, organophosphates, and pyrethroids. Nonetheless, insecticide resistance of&#x000a0;<i>Ae. aegypti&#x000a0;</i>and&#x000a0;<i>Ae. albopictus&#x000a0;</i>has been of increasing concern.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r48">[48]</a>&#x000a0;Vaccines are also a hot topic for research and development, but none have yet&#x000a0;been approved for patient use.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-81.r49">[49]</a></p></div><div id="article-81.s10"><h2 id="_article-81_s10_">Differential Diagnosis</h2><p>Given the non-specific findings of arthralgia, high fever, and rash, the differential diagnosis for the acute and chronic manifestations of Chikungunya fever can be extensive.

Originating from Asia, this disease has caused serious outbreaks in the Western Hemisphere since 2013. The most common symptoms of this disease are high fevers and joint pain, although headaches, muscle pains, and rash may also occur. Risk factors for the disease consist of travel to affected areas or anywhere with mosquitoes and mosquito bites. Treatment consists of rest, adequate hydration, and pain relief with acetaminophen. Prevention is key and is based on protection from mosquito bites with clothing, DEET, and mosquito nets. Given the risk of co-infection with other viruses from the mosquito bite, individuals with these symptoms must seek medical care immediately.</p></div><div id="article-81.s15"><h2 id="_article-81_s15_">Pearls and Other Issues</h2><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Chikungunya fever is an arthropod-borne alphavirus from the&#x000a0;<i>Togaviridae&#x000a0;</i>family endemic to Asia that is transmitted by&#x000a0;<i>Aedes aegypti&#x000a0;</i>and&#x000a0;<i>Aedes albopictus&#x000a0;</i>mosquitoes and has caused serious worldwide outbreaks with a preference for tropical and sub-tropical climates.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The Aedes mosquito vectors are also responsible for transmitting Dengue virus and Zika virus, so co-infection is possible.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Acute clinical manifestations of high fevers, polyarthralgia, and maculopapular rash begin after a 3- to 7-day incubation accompanied by a headache and myalgia.
