Chikungunya Virus as Cause of Febrile Illness Outbreak, Chiapas, Mexico, 2014

Abstract: Since chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was introduced into the Americas in 2013, its geographic distribution has rapidly expanded. Of 119 serum samples collected in 2014 from febrile patients in southern Mexico, 79% were positive for CHIKV or IgM against CHIKV. Sequencing results confirmed CHIKV strains closely related to Caribbean isolates.

“…All RNA samples were tested using a 1-step reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with the Qiagen OneStep RT-PCR kit (Qiagen, Valencia, California) and previously described ZIKV-or DENV-specific primers [19]. Quantitative RT-PCR was also performed, using the Taqman RNA-to-C 1-step kit (Applied Biosystems, San Francisco, California) and CHIKV-specific primers [17]. All ZIKV-PCR-positive samples were confirmed using end point real-time quantitative RT-PCR and previously described primers 1086/1162c/1107-FAM [20] and were also inoculated onto Vero cells for virus isolation attempts and plaque assays [21].…”

“…Initially, medical personnel were confused because 12 months earlier, a major chikungunya fever (CHIKF) outbreak affected the same region [17]. However, most cases did not present with arthralgia of the hands and feet, which is typical of CHIKF, and the retroocular pain seen in most cases, which is not typical of CHIKF, was suggestive of dengue.…”

“…Con el Modelo de Atención Integral a la Salud (MAIS) 3 recientemente publicado, resulta importante explorar la relación entre prestadores a lo largo de la trayectoria de las enfermedades crónicas, su importancia para la adherencia a tratamientos, así como el papel que juegan los prestadores de primer nivel -tanto públi-cos como privados-para coordinar dichas trayectorias. La Ensanut 2017 podrá contribuir a identificar el reto a la demanda y recepción de servicios médicos integrales y personalizados, tal y como lo exige el modelo de atención crónica a la salud.…”

“…editor: La fiebre por Chikungunya (ChikF) es una enfermedad viral transmitida por mosquitos del género Aedes que permaneció silente hasta el brote en 2005 en las islas del Océano Índico 1-2 y que fue reportada en el Continente Americano en 2013, con una rápida diseminación a lo largo del mismo, incluyendo nuestro país. 3 Diversos factores se han vinculado con su dispersión; uno de ellos es el cambio climático que origina la alternancia de lluvias abundantes con épocas de sequía. En ambos extremos, el mosco transmisor ha mostrado capacidad de vivir adecuadamente.…”
