Reunion152 participantsStarted 2023-02-20

Plain-language summary

Reunion Island was struck by a severe Chikungunya outbreak in 2005-2006. Three hundred and seven Chikungunya patients were evaluated by 4 rheumatologists 2 months after the initial infection (RHUMATOCHIK study). Eighty-three percents still reported joint pain and 43% joint swelling in telephone interviews after 32 months (Bouquillard et al., 2018). The primary objective of the present study is to assess and classify precisely persistent Chi-related joint diseases after 15 years, in a second rheumatology examination.
