What is Chikungunya ?
The Chikungunya test is a diagnostic tool used to detect infection with the chikungunya virus, a mosquito-borne virus that causes chikungunya fever. This viral illness is characterized by sudden onset of fever, severe joint pain, rash, and fatigue. The test identifies the presence of the virus or antibodies produced by the body to fight it, helping confirm the infection. The Chikungunya test is typically ordered when a patient presents with symptoms such as fever, joint pain, rash, and muscle aches, particularly in areas where chikungunya outbreaks are common. It is also used to differentiate chikungunya from other mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and malaria, which share similar symptoms. Early detection through these tests allows for timely management of symptoms and reduces the risk of complications such as prolonged arthritis-like joint pain.
