According to the data, the demand for studies of patients with suspected symptoms of chikungunya is growing exponentially – at the country level more than 43 deaths have already been reported. Positive cases are notified to the Ministry of Public Health (MSPyBS) for better health control and surveillance, following the established protocols.
The chikungunya virus is transmitted by the bite of the Aedes Aegypty and Aedes Albopictus mosquitoes, causing high fever, joint pain, skin rash, headache, and muscle pain.
