摘要
Objectives: To determine the frequencies of mucocutaneous manifestations of chikungunya fever, and to determine the association of positive serology with manifestations. Method: The observational cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Dermatology, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, from May 15, 2018, to January 15, 2019, and comprised patients who presented with early and late manifestations of chikungunya fever. Different cutaneous manifestations were confirmed by a consultant dermatologist. Data was analysed using SPSS 23. Result: Of the 67 patients, 46(68.7%) were females and 21(31.3%) were males. The overall mean age was 30.24 +/- 7.89 years. Hyperpigmentation was the most frequent finding 31(46%), followed by maculopapular rashes and oral ulcers in 17(25%) each, and diffuse hair fall in 14(20%). There was no significant association between clinically suspected cases and serology-positive patients. Conclusion: Chikungunya fever presented with unusual mucocutaneous findings, some of which remained present months or even years after the onset of chikungunya fever.
