In the last years, cases of chikungunya fever have been reported in international travellers returning from the Indian Ocean region. The cases have been linked to the re-emergence of chikungunya fever on Indian Ocean islands in 2006. We describe the first case of chikungunya fever in a French traveller returning from Male, an island of the Maldives islands, confirming the permanence of virus circulation by the end of 2009.
