16 Chikungunya Dengue versus Chikungunya A 46-year-woman presents to clinic 5 weeks after a 4-day trip to Puerto Rico. She recalls multiple mosquitos on the last day of the trip while on a hike. She was asymptomatic during the trip, but 3 days after returning, she developed fever (39-40 C), severe fatigue, and horrible pain in her ankles and wrists. Her fever has resolved but she continues to have very bothersome joint symptoms. Which one of the following most strongly suggests a diagnosis of Chikungunya over a diagnosis of Dengue? A. Region of travel (Puerto Rico) B. Duration of joint symptoms C. Mosquito bites occurring during daytime D. Severity of fever Global Chikungunya (as of January 13, 2015) Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
