چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryBackgroundDue to increasing concerns about post-chikungunya (pCHIK) rheumatic disorders in Latin America we aimed to evaluate its occurrence in travelers returning to NYC from the Caribbean.MethodPatients diagnosed with chikungunya (CHIK) during 2014 at the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center (Bronx, NewYork) were identified by reviewing laboratory and electronic medical records. Patients and caregivers of pediatric patients were interviewed by phone ≥9 months after the CHIK diagnosis to survey for chronic symptomatology and current health care needs. Reported chronic musculoskeletal complaints were categorized according to validated criteria.ResultsA total of 28 patients (54% females, median age [range] of 51.5 [0, 88] years) diagnosed with CHIK at our center were identified. Most (82%) had returned from the Dominican Republic. Nineteen (68%) patients were successfully contacted at a median (range) of 13 (9, 16) months since the acute diagnosis. A third (37%) reported ongoing complaints related to CHIK including joint pain (32%), muscle pain (32%), and joint swelling (26%). A presumptive diagnosis of pCHIK chronic inflammatory arthritis (n = 4) and pCHIK musculoskeletal disorder (n = 3) was established.ConclusionsA third of travelers with CHIK acquired in the Caribbean may be at risk for developing persistent symptoms suggestive of pCHIK rheumatic disorder.
