Mechanisms of viral induced polyarthritis

Chikungunya (CHIK) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus that has caused major outbreaks across Africa, Asia, and South America. While the acute infection is often self-limiting, a substantial proportion of patients develop persistent, painful polyarthritis that can significantly impair quality of life. Read more
