This report describes the clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological findings on 27 cases of Mayaro virus (MV) disease, an emerging mosquito-borne viral illness that is endemic in rural areas of tropical South America. MV disease is a nonfatal, dengue-like illness characterized by fever, chills, headache, eye pain, generalized myalgia, arthralgia, diarrhea, vomiting, and rash of 3-5 days' duration. Severe joint pain is a prominent feature of this illness; the arthralgia sometimes persists for months and can be quite incapacitating. Cases of two visitors from the United States, who developed MV disease during visits to eastern Peru, are reported. MV disease and dengue are difficult to differentiate clinically.
本报告描述了27例马亚罗病毒（MV）病的临床、实验室和流行病学调查结果。马亚罗病毒病是一种新出现的蚊媒病毒性疾病，在南美洲热带地区的农村流行。马亚罗病毒病是一种非致命的、类似登革热的疾病，其特征为发热、寒战、头痛、眼痛、全身肌痛、关节痛、腹泻、呕吐以及持续3至5天的皮疹。严重的关节疼痛是这种疾病的一个突出特征；关节痛有时会持续数月，并且可能使人相当丧失劳动能力。报告了两名来自美国的游客在访问秘鲁东部期间感染马亚罗病毒病的病例。马亚罗病毒病和登革热在临床上难以区分。
