After the 2014-2015 outbreak of chikungunya virus in the US Virgin Islands, we compared the prevalence of persistent arthralgia among case-patients and controls. Prevalence was higher in case-patients than controls 6 and 12 months after disease onset. Continued vaccine research to prevent acute illness and long-term sequelae is essential.
在2014 - 2015年基孔肯雅病毒在美国维尔京群岛爆发后,我们比较了病例患者和对照人群中持续性关节痛的患病率。在疾病发作6个月和12个月后,病例患者的患病率高于对照人群。继续开展预防急性疾病和长期后遗症的疫苗研究至关重要。
