In January 2019, five of 11 travellers to Koh Lanta, Thailand, contracted chikungunya, symptoms starting 4 days after presumed transmission. Four cases were hospitalised, one child treated in intensive care; 6 weeks after disease onset, all three adults have persistent arthralgias/arthritis, incapacitating for two. Together with a recent report of eight chikungunya cases among travellers to various destinations in Thailand, the high attack rate in our cluster points to an ongoing outbreak in the country.
2019 年 1 月，11 名前往泰国阁兰岛的旅行者中有 5 人感染了基孔肯雅热，症状在疑似传播后 4 天开始出现。4 例住院，1 例儿童接受重症监护治疗；发病后 6 周，3 名成年人仍有关节痛/关节炎，持续 2 周无法正常活动。再加上最近一份关于 8 例旅行者在泰国不同目的地感染基孔肯雅热的报告，我们的聚集病例中高发病率表明该国正在爆发疫情。
