Warning on chikungunya virus
Fever, arthritis, and other symptoms occurring in people to who have recently travelled to islands in the Indian Ocean may signal infection with an imported virus called "chikungunya," reports a study in the May/June issue of the journal Medicine, published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.
A group of French researchers report on the symptoms and outcomes of chikungunya virus infection in 47 patients seen at the Leveran Hospital in Marseilles. The lead author was Dr Fabrice Simon, a specialist in infectious and tropical diseases at the hospital.
