Back after 32 yrs, dengue-like fever: chikungunyaToufiq Rashid

Indian Express.. Thursday, April 27, 2006 at 0000 hrs Mosquito carrier, not known to be fatal, cases sweep Andhra, KarnatakaNEW DELHI, APRIL 26: Thirty two years after its last outbreak in India, chikungunya is back. A relatively rare viral fever with dengue-like symptoms, chikungunya has been sweeping Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. In the last three months, the official count of the affected has climbed to a staggering 1.5 lakh people and Health officials concede that figures on the ground may be higher. Caused by an alphavirus spread through bites from the Aedes Aegypti mosquito—the same mosquito behind dengue—chikungunya is not considered fatal. But 77 deaths since 2005 on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion have been linked to chikungunya.

Health officials in Delhi said the last outbreak in the country was reported in 1974. “The virus must have been silent but it has made a comeback,”
