Do you need more information

Transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes, chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was first identified in Tanzania in 1952. Over the last two decades it has spread across the world to more than 100 countries, causing regular outbreaks in Asia and Africa, massive outbreaks in the Americas, and more sporadic and clustered cases in Europe.

 

 

As symptoms of chikungunya overlap with those of other mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue and malaria, differential diagnosis in endemic areas is essential for optimized patient management. The VIDAS® CHIKUNGUNYA panel offers a complete solution for rapid and reliable confirmation of chikungunya infection.

Detection from acute to chronic disease

Recommended diagnostic methods(1)

3 specific chikungunya biomarkers are expressed after infection:

  • The presence of virus in the blood (viremia) can be detected early in the course of infection, and up to 7-10 days after the first symptoms.
  • Anti-chikungunya IgM antibodies are generally detectable 5-7 days after the contamination. It is classically admitted that they persist for several weeks, up to 3 months. However, it has been demonstrated that they can be detected in the blood of infected people up to more than one year after the acute phase.
  • Anti-chikungunya IgG antibodies are detectable a few days after IgM appearance, 7-10 days after the contamination, and can persist for years.

 

 

2 complementary tests

The VIDAS® CHIKUNGUNYA panel offers 2 complementary tests for accurate detection of the disease from the acute to the chronic phase:

  • VIDAS® Anti-CHIKUNGUNYA IgM: Early serological response
  • VIDAS® Anti-CHIKUNGUNYA IgG: Presence of specific immunity
