Abstract
CHIKV (Chikungunya virus) has already been discovered in over 110 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Transmission has been interrupted on islands where a significant part of the population gets sick and then develops immune; yet, transmission routinely continues in countries where large segments of the population have not yet been afflicted. Of the 29 sampleas, 20 were positive for antibodies against CHIKV, the 09 samples were negative. The positivity averages of IgM and IgG detected against CHIKV were 45% (27 �.61 (�9.67%))and 55%( 33 �.19 (�9.67%)) respectively. Of the total number of patients involved in this study, 12 (60%) were women and 08 (40%) were men with the mean age of 27.50?years. myalgia, Joint pain and Abdominal pain were the symptoms most reported by participants of this study. Fever, headaches, and myalgia were observed in all patients. Public health initiatives, research advancements, and community engagement are crucial in combating Chikungunya and mitigating its negative effects on the population's quality of life.
