摘要：

INTRODUCTION. Imported diseases pose a diagnostic challenge for the physician, epidemiologists, and the local health care authorities, implying a risk for the community in some cases. METHOD. We report the case of a patient with Chikungunya virus infection in Spain and describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of this condition. RESULTS. Diagnosis was confirmed by specific tests in paired samples. CONCLUSIONS. The vector for the disease (Aedes albopictus) now exists in Spain. There is a danger that local outbreaks may occur where there are patients with viremia in areas with a prevalence of the vector.
