What Is Chikungunya and Why Does It Matter?
The chikungunya virus spreads through the bite of infected mosquitoes, particularly in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. It often begins with a sudden fever, followed by intense joint and muscle pain. Many people also report rashes, headaches, and ongoing fatigue.
Some of the most common signs and symptoms of chikungunya include:
- Sudden high fever
- Pain or stiffness in the joints
- Headaches and muscle aches
- Skin rashes
- Long-lasting tiredness
These chikungunya virus infection symptoms can last from a few days to several weeks. While most people recover fully, some may experience lingering joint pain for months.
