Chikungunya

Virus Name Chikungunya It was first identified in 1952. In the African country of Tanzania, it says Chikungunya, which means 'Waist bend'. Because, this infection has so much pain in the joints or joints of the bones that the patient has to walk around the waist. However, the signs or symptoms of chikungunya infection are similar to dengue. There are some slight differences.

Fever-Pain-Rash:

If chikunaguna is attacked, there is sudden fever like dengue, rash or granular skin. Besides, there is a lot of pain in the body. Although dengue is painful to the body, but it is not very intense and chronic. The specialty of Chikungunya is that, from the beginning of fever, there may be severe pain in the hands, feet, knees, elbows and ankles. Sometimes the kink may swell. In the morning, there may be jam or morning stiffness, which may sometimes cause arthritis or arthritis. Even after the fever has healed, pain may take quite a few days. May be even five to six months. These dinosaurs distinguish Chikungunya from dengue. Without it, it is not feared to bleed like dengue.

Chikungunya in Bangladesh:

In 2008, the existence of Chikungunya proved to be the first in Bangladesh. But honestly, the disease had already existed. In recent years many people are suffering from this disease. Like dengue, Chikungunya edis spreads through mosquitoes. If there is fever-rash and dysentery, and if the dengue antigen in the blood is negative then it is assumed to have been chikungunya. It is possible to identify chikungunya by first testing the blood in the first week of fever and then by checking the IGM antibodies. However, this test is conducted in our laboratories in our country's two laboratories. But test is not important, it is not. It is possible to treat symptoms as soon as possible. Like other virus infections, the main goal of the treatment of chikunguniya is to relieve. Paracetamol for the reduction of fever, even after having fever, painkiller medicine, adequate rest and nutritious food and fluid intake food is the main treatment. The disease will not have any chronic problems or complications, it must be interpreted to the patient. However, many people suffer from acute pain. If the kink swelling and pain take more than six weeks then it will be necessary to test for other problems.

Prevention:

Chikungunya virus spreads through mosquitoes. There is no vaccine. There is no guarantee that once again, there will be no more. So the best way to prevent is to resist. It is important to destroy mosquito's dwelling. Both the city and the authorities have to be aware. Frozen water, open drain, drainage should be kept clean. Use of mosquito netting, dressing shoes and wearing pants will protect the children.
