What is Chikungunya?

Chikungunya is a viral infection transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, the same species responsible for spreading dengue. The disease is characterized by sudden high fever and severe, often debilitating joint pain that can persist for weeks to months after the acute illness resolves. While rarely fatal, chikungunya can cause significant disability during the acute phase and chronic joint symptoms in a subset of patients. Outbreaks tend to occur in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly during and after monsoon seasons.
