The role of autoantibodies in post-chikungunya viral arthritis disease severity.

Post-chikungunya viral arthritis may persist for months to years after infection and is characterized by relapsing and remitting symptoms. This study investigates the relationship between autoantibodies and chikungunya arthritis severity, providing insights into arthritis pathogenesis. We assessed arthritis measures in a cohort of serologically confirmed chikungunya cases from Colombia between 2019 and 2021 ( = 144).
