History (Its story)
A viral infection transmitted to humansBy the bite of an infected mosquitoIt has become endemic in south and central IndiaFirst outbreak in 1952 on the Makonde PlateauBorder between Tanganyika and MozambiqueFirst published report is from Africa in 1955 by Marion Robinson and W.H.R. LumsdenRecent large epidemic occurred in Malaysia in
1999www.drsarma.in 3
A disease of Africa and Asia

INTRODUCTION
Caused by an Alpha Virus is a relatively rare form of viral fever ("debilitating non-fatal viral illness."
Spread by bite of Aedes aegypti mosquito which usually bite during day light hours.
the name is derived from Swahili word meaning “that which bends up”
Chikungunya (CHIK) virus first isolated from the serum of a febrile human in Tanzania in 1953.
Chik virus has caused numerous out breaks in Africa and South Eastern Asia, involving hundreds and thousands of people.
• Chikungunya is a Makonde word (one of the local languages in Tanzania) meaning
‘that which bends up’.
• Describes the posture patient assumes to relieve the severe joint pains
• Buggy Creek virus
Synonyms
• CHIKV Fever• Buggy Creek virus infection• Knuckle fever• Me Tri virus infection• Semliki Forest virus infection

Chikungunya, 2005-2012, more than three millions cases ?
South of France, 09/20102 autochtonous cases
New Caledonia, 03/201133 autochtonous cases
Yemen - Saudi Arabia, 2010-11
Hundreds of cases
South China, 10/2010>10 cases
Reunion, 2010120 cases
www.drsarma.in 13
Why is this sudden epidemic ?
Analysis of the recent Indian epidemic has suggested that the increased severity of the disease is due to a change in the genetic sequence, altering the virus’ coat protein, which potentially allows it to multiply more easily in mosquito cells*.
www.drsarma.in 14
*http//medicine.plosjournals.org
Why is this quasi-pandemic ?
• Several distinct variants of the virus • A change at position 226 of the E1 coat protein• This A226V mutation caused the virus to more easily
invade and multiply in the mosquitoes• Three protein changes in non-structural proteins
– nsP1 (T301I), nsP2 (Y642N), and nsP3 (E460 deletion) – This mutant virus - from a neonatal encephalopathy

Transmission
Reservoir – Non-human primates in AfricaNo animal reservoir is found in IndiaMaintained in nature by man – mosquito – man
cycleVector – Aedes aegypti, Ae. albapticus mosquitoSame vector as for Dengue and Yellow feversVehicle of transmission – NoneNo known mode - other than mosquito biteIncubation Period – 2 days to 12 days
www.drsarma.in 27
Main mode of transmission: mosquito bite
Other modes of transmission• Uncommon
– In utero transmission, can cause miscarriage in the 1st trimester
– Intra birth transmission, newborn of a viremic mother– Needle prick– Laboratory exposure
• Public Health Considerations– Blood transfusion– Organ or tissue transplant– No evidence of the virus in breast milk
CHIKV in the Americas28
The Vector
Aedes aegypti mosquito, flight range < 100 metersAggressive daytime biter – under lights – bites anklesOnce infected – it has the virus until death (30 days)It is a man made mosquito – prefers its ownerBreeds in man made household containersIndoor, peridomestic, fresh water mosquitoMetallic, plastic, rubber, cement and earthen
containers - open, left or unused - get filled with waterAir coolers, ACs, Old oil drums, Over head tanks

The Virus and its Vector The Criminal and It’s Accomplice
How Do Aedes Mosquitoes Transmit Diseases...
Mosquito bites and sucks blood containing the virus from an infected person.
Virus is carried in its body.
And passes the virus to healthy people when it bites them.
Attack Rates
• In urban localities it is more – why ?• Usual age group is above 15 years• Less common in children and infants• Family clustering of cases usual• Attack rates vary from 3 to 40% of population• Average attack rate is 10%• Herd immunity restricts further spread

Clinical Features
34
www.drsarma.in
CHIKV Infectiona disease of two phases
ACUTE PHASE•The majority of persons infected (72%‒97%) are symptomatic. •Incubation period: 3–7 days (range of 1‒12 days). •Main symptoms: acute onset of fever and polyarthralgia.
CHIKV Infectiona disease of two phases
CHRONIC PHASE• Early exacerbations,
inflammatory relapses, longstanding rheumatism and loss in quality of life
• More common in: – Those over 40 years old– Rheumatic or traumatic
history – High viral load
Simon F et al. Chikungunya virus infecion. Curr Infect Dis Rep DOI 10.1007/s11908-011-0180-1
CLINICAL FEATURES Acute viral infection of abrupt onset.
sudden onset of fever >38.5 degrees and severe arthralgia( ankle ,wrist, phalanges). Chills, flu like symptoms.
other constitutional symptoms like head ache, back pain, myalgia,photo phobia, retrorbital pain, conjunctival infection and rash. Nausea, vomiting, abd. pain, severe weakness
Incubation period is usually 1 to 12 days, symptoms ( average 4-7days).
Lasting for period of 7 to 10 days.
Rarely can result in meningo – encephalitis, Cardiovascular alt,death in elderly-weak immune system.
Chronic phase of severe arthralgia
Fever and polyarthralgia
• Fever– Acute onset– ≥38.5°C
• Joint pain– Sometimes serious and debilitating– Multiple joints– Bilateral and symmetric (usually)– Most commonly in hands and feet

Peripheral vascular disorders
• Erythermalgia
• Raynaud’s syndrome
– High susceptibilty to the cold
– De novo and transient
– Commonly bilateral
– Associated with mixed cryoglobulinemia
The Arthralgia
• The small joints of the lower and upper limbs• Migratory poly arthralgia – not much effusions• Larger joints may also be affected (knee, ankle)• Pain worse in the morning – less by evening• Joints may be swollen & painful to the touch• Some patients have incapacitating joint pains• Arthritis may last for weeks or months.

The Contorted Posture
Skin Rash in Dengue CHIKV
www.drsarma.in 49
Rare Clinical Features
• A petechial or maculo papular rash usually involving the limbs may occur.
• Hemorrhage is rare • Nasal blotchy erythema, freckle-like
pigmentation over centro-facial area, • Flagellate pigmentation on face and extremities• Lichenoid eruption and hyper pigmentation in
exposed areas
www.drsarma.in 51
Rare Clinical Features
Multiple aphthous-like ulcers over scrotum, crural areas and axilla
Unilateral or bilateral lympoedema of the limbsLymphadenopathy not commonMultiple ecchymotic spots in children Vesiculo-bullous lesions in infants and Sub-ungual hemorrhagesSevere menigo-encephalitis – rare; may be fatal
www.drsarma.in 52
Course of Illness
Fever typically lasts for 2 - 3 days and comes downFever may reoccur after 3 days – ‘saddle back’ feverSome rare cases - fever lasts up to a couple of weeksPatients do have prolonged fatigue for several weeks High fever & crippling joint pain marked this epidemicJoint pain, intense headache, insomnia and an extreme
degree of prostration may last for 5 to 7 daysLife long immunity, once one suffers this infection
www.drsarma.in 53
Who are at greater risk ?
• Pregnant women• Elderly people• Newborns• Women in general• Diabetics• Immuno-compromised patients• Patients with severe chronic illnesses
www.drsarma.in 54
CHIKV Morbidity
• Chikungunya is a self-limiting illness • Causes of prolonged morbidity are
– Severe dehydration – Electrolyte imbalance and – Loss of glycemic control
• Recovery is the rule • In about 3 to 5%
– Incidence of prolonged arthritis
www.drsarma.in 55
Mortality
• A few deaths have been reported - Examples• It was thought to be due mainly to
– Inappropriate use of antibiotics and NSAIDs – Virus can cause thrombocytopenia – These drugs can cause gastric erosions - thus – Leading to fatal upper GI bleed – Use of steroids for the joint pains &
inflammation– This is dangerous and completely unwarranted
www.drsarma.in 56
Outcome
• Acute symptoms: resolved in 7-10 days• Mortality: rare (elderly)• Some patients have relapses of rheumatic
symptoms in the months following the acute illness
• Chronic illness of varying degrees, with pain persisting for months or years
CHIKV in the Americas57
DIAGNOSIS
Suspect Case
Characteristic triad of fever, rash and rheumatic manifestations
Probable Case
As above with positive serology from single sample
Confirmed Case
A probable case with any of the following
Four fold HI antibody difference in paired serum samples.
Detection of IgM antibodies.
Virus isolation from serum.
Detection of Chikungunya virus nucleic acid in sera by RT - PCR
Laboratory• Transient lymphopenia• Thrombocytopenia (early and
moderate)
• C-reactive protein elevation• Elevated liver
transaminases
Risk factors for severe disease
• Infant exposure during birth• Elderly (>65 y.o.) • Medical history (e.g., diabetes,
hypertension, or cardiovascular disease)
WHO case definitions
Algorithm for suspected CHIKV CASE
Epidemiological scenario: First introduction of virus in a specific area 1
This algorithm is intended to be followed by those reference laboratories with established capacity for CHIKV detection.
Samples should be processed taking into account the number of days after the onset of symptoms. If the sample was taken between 1 and 8 days after the onset of symptoms, then it will be processed for both RT-PCR and IgM serology.
Samples should be coming from suspected cases, defined as “A patient with acute onset of fever > 38.5 C (101.3 F) and severe arthralgia or arthritis not explained by other medical conditions, and who resides or visit epidemic or endemic areas within two weeks before the onset of the symptoms”.2
1 As of December 2013, it applies for Caribbean countries and territories where the CHIKV still has not been detected, as well as Latin American Countries. 2 CDC/PAHO. Preparedness and Response for Chikingunya Virus Introduction in the Americas. 2011

Pregnancy and CHIKV
• Mother to fetus transmission can occur• Reported between 3 to 4.5 months of gestation• Maternal IgG develops in 2 weeks after CHIKV• This passes through placenta – confers protection• Intra-partum risk is 48% if mother has viremia• Neonatal infections are very mild; fully recover• No miscarriages or congenital malformations
www.drsarma.in 66
Pregnancy - CHIKV
June 2005 to Jan 2006, 84 pregnant women with CHIKV
In 88% cases the newborns are asymptomatic10 newborns had severe attacks, 4 meningo-
encephalitis3 with intravascular coagulations; No infants diedOne case of severe intra cerebral hemorrhage Had severe thrombocytopenia All confirmed by specific serology or PCR or bothWomen had severe intra-partum viremia & fever

CHIKUNGUNYA DRUG France develops a new drug to treat
"We are confident today that a drug to treat Chikungunya will be made available and we are hopeful that this drug will be available at the very end of this year or at the very start of 2007"
- French Health Minister - Xavier Bertrand- September 11th 2006
www.drsarma.in 75
Treatment• There is no specific treatment for CHIKV• No vaccine or preventive pill is available • The illness is usually self-limiting• It will resolve with time over a week to 10
days• No relapses occur – no second attacks • Convalescence may take longer• Symptomatic treatment only
www.drsarma.in 76
Treatment
Rest to the patient and mild movements of jointsCold compresses to inflamed jointsLiberal fluid intake or IV fluidsAnalgesics and NSAIDS
Paraetamol ± Ibuprofen or aceclofenac or diclofenac
Naproxen sodium (Naprasyn, Xenobid)Aspirin should be avoided
Hydroxy chloroquine sulphate (HCQS) 200 mg/odChloroquine phosphate 250 mg/od
www.drsarma.in 77
What not to give ?
• No indication for antibiotics• Never use costly, large spectrum drugs• No indication for long acting steroids• No indication for short term steroids also
in the acute phase of illness• Rarely, if the joint swelling persists – we
may consider use of steroids in short burst.
www.drsarma.in 78
Management of cases
• Rest in bed will help hasten recovery• Infected persons should be protected
– from further mosquito exposure – staying indoors and/or under a mosquito net– during the first few days of illness– This is to reduce transmission to others
