Post-viral polyarthralgia, fibromyalgia, chronic joint pain, adhesive capsulitis, and plantar fasciitis can also occur [6,7,8]. When these arthritic manifestations last more than 3 months following the onset of chikungunya fever, the illness can be called chronic chikungunya arthritis [ 9 ].

Author summary Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) is a vector-borne viral disease first described in 1952 in Africa, which recently reached the Americas, where it then originated epidemics of unprecedented magnitude. Its acute phase is characterized by fever associated with joint pain and edema, which resolve in about seven days for most patients. However, 25-40% of these patients develop chronic

Potential causes of chronic CHIKV-induced arthritis have been postulated, including viral persistence, induction of autoimmune disease, and exacerbation of pre-existing joint disease. While there are numerous reports of chronic CHIKV-associated arthralgia and/or arthritis, there is currently no evidence of a definitive link between initial
