2018, Travel Medicine and Infectious DiseaseCitation Excerpt :One of these investigations was carried out during 2015 in the municipality of Venadillo in the department of Tolima [11], which is part of the Colombian endemic areas for dengue virus (DENV) and CHIKV, and they share the same vector, Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus [12]. The initial study in Tolima [11] evidenced that about half of the patients persisted with post-CHIK arthralgia after 24 weeks of follow-up [11], which is higher than the results reported in other countries [13]. All these findings represent a great challenge for infectious diseases, rheumatology and travel medicine practitioners, but still many aspects need to be clarified [14–20].

2017, Travel Medicine and Infectious DiseaseCitation Excerpt :Eighteen studies focussed on factors associated with persistent symptoms of CHIKV infection (Table 3). Older age (>35–45 years) was associated with the persistence of joint pain [3,17–19,23,30,37,39,40]. Females seemed to be at higher risk compared to men [3,17–19,41].
