Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, has reemerged in Southeast Asia since 2019. A retrospective review of CHIKV cases was conducted. Children commonly presented with high-grade fever, rash, arthralgia, and lymphopenia. Neurological manifestations or shock occurred in 20% of hospitalized children. These findings indicate the need for increased vigilance for CHIKV alongside dengue in travelers from Southeast Asia with suspected mosquito-borne viral infections.
基孔肯雅病毒（CHIKV）通过伊蚊传播，自2019年以来在东南亚再度出现。对基孔肯雅病毒病例进行了回顾性研究。儿童通常表现为高热、皮疹、关节痛和淋巴细胞减少。20%的住院儿童出现神经症状或休克。这些发现表明，对于来自东南亚且疑似感染蚊媒病毒的旅行者，在警惕登革热的同时，也需要提高对基孔肯雅病毒的警惕性。
