The dengue fever connection with chikungu

The sign of the Chikungunya Fever resembled Dengue Dengue Fever that is the Fever that was high, shivered, the headache, nausea, faded, had a stomach-ache, foundation pain and the muscle as well as red spots to skin especially the body and arms. His difference with dengue fever dengue fever, in chikungu him did not have the great bleeding, renjatan (Schok) and the death.

Really the incubation from the Chikungunya fever two to four days. The manifestation of the illness took place three to 10 days. This virus including? Self Limiting Disease? The alias was lost automatically. However the feeling of pain was still backward in the calculation of the week up until the month.

There was no vaccine and special medicine for Chikungunya?

Be enough to take medicine penurun hot and the feeling remover was sick that could be bought in the stall, that important was enough to rest, drank and food was nutritious?

According to the site of the Standford University, the Chikungunya virus entered the Togaviridae family, the genus alphavirus, and was spread by Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes. This virus continued to cause the epidemic in the tropical Asian territory and Africa since it was identified in 1952 in African Timur. In Indonesian Demam Chikungunya it was reported the first time in Samarinda in 1973.
Afterwards was contagious in the Tunkal Estuary, Jambi, in 1980. In 1983 spread in Martapura, Ternate and Yogyakarta. After the vacuum almost 20 years, early 2001 the extraordinary incident (KLB) the Chikungunya fever happened in Muara Enim, South Sumatra and Aceh.

Followed by Bogor in October. Feverishly Chikungunya was again contagious in Bekasi (West Java), Purworejo and Klaten (Central Java) in 2002. From literature that was read by me, indeed had the wave of the epidemic 20 yearly. Possibly related the change in the climate and the weather, the other explanation, according to the site of the Security of the Canadian Laboratory, antibodies that emerged from this illness made the sufferer immune to the further virus attack. Therefore, needed long time for this illness to spread again.
