Dual infection by chikungunya virus and other imported infectious agent in a traveller returning from India. [Journal Article]
Travel Med Infect Dis 2008 May; 6(3):152-4.
Chikungunya virus infection is a vector-borne self-limiting disease. Recent outbreaks in the Indian Ocean islands have drawn attention to the condition. Nevertheless, only a few reports of co-infection with other communicable agents have been reported. The case described now is of a traveller returning from India with concomitant documented chikungunya virus infection associated with systemic amoebiasis. This report highlights the multifaceted pathology that can be encountered with tropical infections.
