Chikungunya fever is an acute febrile illness associated with severe, often debilitating polyarthralgias. The disease is caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an arthropod-borne virus that is transmitted to humans primarily via the bite of an infected mosquito. Since a re-emergence of CHIKV in 2004, the virus has spread into novel locations, such as Europe, and has led to millions of cases of di...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the in situ repair technique of high-degree partial-thickness articular surface lesions of the supraspinatus tendon (SS). The procedure consists of the arthroscopic surgical repair of these lesions, without the need to complete the lesion, as occurs in traditional classical technique. A small incision is made in the longitudinal direction of the intact bursal fibers and...

OBJECTIVES Acute rheumatic fever and its sequel, rheumatic heart disease, is a major problem in children, adolescents and young adults. Despite the widespread application of the Jones criterions, carditis is either underdiagnosed or overdiagnosed. Echocardiography is rarely used optimally for precise diagnosis. The objective of our study, therefore, was to define the potential role of echocardi...

BACKGROUND Chikungunya fever is an emerging arboviral disease characterized by an algo-eruptive syndrome, inflammatory polyarthralgias, or tenosynovitis that can last for months to years. Up to now, the pathophysiology of the chronic stage is poorly understood. CASE PRESENTATION We report the first case of CHIKV infection with chronic associated rheumatism in a patient who developed progressi...

Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) is a mosquito-borne febrile illness caused by the virus (CHIKV). Bangladesh has documented several outbreaks of CHIKF since it was first reported in 2008. The latest outbreak occurred Dhaka 2017. In this study, serosurvey 2017 conducted during its peak. study involved assessment CHIKV immunoreactions among participants suffering from related symptoms.

In the final Jones criteria, different diagnostic criteria were established for the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever for low risk and moderate-high risk populations. Turkey was found to be compatible with moderate-high risk populations as a result of regional screenings performed in terms of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. The changes in the diagnostic criteria for low-risk...

Described by Antonin Poncet in 1897, Poncet’s disease is a non-destructive (non-erosive) inflammatory arthritis secondary to mycobacterial infection, without an identified infectious agent the affected joints. Neuromeningeal localization of tuberculosis (TB) rare but remains most severe with hight mortality and permanent neurological damage. Association rheumatism TB rare, even less neuromening...
