Abstract

Sustained Elevated Cytokine Levels during Recovery Phase of Mayaro Virus Infection.

Highlights

  • N Engl J Med. 2015 Oct 14 [cited 2015 Oct 20]

  • To further our knowledge of Mayaro virus (MAYV) infection, we analyzed cytokine levels in serum samples from 6 travelers to South America who returned to Europe with Mayaro fever (MF)

  • The most striking clinical feature of MF is long-lasting arthralgia, similar to that seen in chikungunya fever, which develops in the acute phase and persists thereafter

Summary

Introduction

N Engl J Med. 2015 Oct 14 [cited 2015 Oct 20]. Sustained Elevated Cytokine Levels during Recovery Phase of Mayaro Virus Infection The clinical disease and diagnostic procedures have been described [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9], but immunologic parameters and their possible role in the clinical follow-up of patients (i.e., during the postacute long-lasting arthralgia period) remain to be investigated.
