Chikungunya is a viral disease transmitted to humans through the bites of infected *Aedes* mosquitoes, primarily *Aedes aegypti* and *Aedes albopictus*. The disease is characterized by an abrupt onset of high fever and severe, often debilitating, joint pain, which is typically more intense in the small joints . Other common symptoms include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, and rash.
There is no specific antiviral treatment for chikungunya; clinical management focuses on relieving symptoms. This includes using antipyretics for fever and analgesics or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for joint pain, along with adequate hydration. While the acute phase usually lasts for a few days, joint pain can persist for months or even years in some patients, causing long-term discomfort and disability. Prevention centers on avoiding mosquito bites through repellents, protective clothing, and eliminating breeding sites.
