SUMMARYIn April 2005, an outbreak of Chikungunya fever occurred on the island of Re´union in the Indian Ocean. During winter 2005, six patients developed meningoencephalitis and acute hepatitis due to Chikungunya virus. Our objectives were to determine the incidence and mortality of atypical Chikungunya viral infections and to identify risk factors for severe disease. A hospital-based surveillance system was established to collect data on atypical Chikungunya cases. Case reports, medical records and laboratory results were reviewed and analysed. We defined an atypical case as one in which a patient with laboratory-confirmed Chikungunya virus infection developed symptoms other than fever and arthralgia. We defined a severe atypical case as one which required maintenance of at least one vital function. We recorded 610 atypical cases of Chikungunya fever : 222 were severe cases, 65 affected patients died. Five hundred and forty-six cases had underlying medical conditions (of which 226 suffered from cardiovascular, 147 from neurological and 150 from respiratory disorders). Clinical features that had never been associated with Chikungunya fever were recorded, such as bullous dermatosis, pneumonia, and diabetes mellitus. Hypertension, and underlying respiratory or cardiological conditions were independent risk factors for disease severity. The overall mortality rate was 10 . 6 % and it increased with age. This is the first time that severe cases and deaths due to Chikungunya fever have been documented. The information presented in this article may assist clinicians in identifying the disease, selecting the treatment strategy, and anticipating the course of illness.

“…Consequently, in 2005 and2006, especially mainland France (Cordel et al 2006, Krastinova et al 2006), but also other European nations (Depoortere and Coulombier 2006), reported a sudden increase in imported CHIKV infections. The need for CHIKV surveillance in Europe was driven home by the autochthonous outbreak of CHIKV infections in central Italy in 2007 (Rezza et al 2007, Angelini et al 2008).…”

“…Hay casos documentados de infecciones adquiridas por personal de laboratorio que manipulaba sangre infectada y de un trabajador sanitario que extrajo sangre a un paciente infectado. 47,48 Estos casos apoyan la hipótesis de que es posible la transmisión del CHIKV a través de hemoderivados.…”
