Chikungunya. Following are certain interesting facts about
Chikungunya ........
What does Chikungunya mean?
"Chikungunya", in Swahili ( East African language), means contorted
(or stooped) posture of patients, with the severe joint pain
(arthritis), the most common feature of disease.
Cause
A non fatal Viral illness, spread by Aedes mosquito.
Signs
Chikungunya usually starts suddenly with fever, chills, headache,
nausea, vomiting, joint pain, and rash. Frequently, the infection
causes no symptoms, especially in children.
How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?
The time between the bite of a mosquito carrying chikungunya virus
and the start of symptoms ranges from 1 to 12 days.
Recovery
Recovery from chikungunya is the expected outcome, but can be
prolonged (up to a year or more), and persistent joint pain may
require analgesic (pain medication) and long-term anti-inflammatory
therapy. Infection appears to confer lasting immunity.
My doctor prescribed a tablet called Myonal for me. I'm relieved
from fever & getting better from joint pains.
