About this Service
Chikungunya is an infectious disease caused by a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes. It is characterized by symptoms such as fever, joint pain, and rash. The name comes from the Swahili word meaning "to become contorted," which describes the severe joint pain that is a hallmark of the disease. Treatment mainly focuses on managing the symptoms.
