Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya are arthropod-borne viruses that share mosquitoes of the Aedes genus as common vector, specifically Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus.
Environmental changes, urbanization and the globalization of travel have enhanced the spread of ZIKV, DENV and CHIKV resulting in epidemics and the co-circulation in overlapping geographic areas as well as the possibility of viral co-infection within a single host. Currently the major endemic regions include Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands and the Americas.
These arboviruses cause similar clinical presentations, especially in the initial stages of infection. The management strategies for these three viruses are vastly different, an early and accurate diagnosis is imperative. Differential diagnosis for a patient with suspicious clinical symptoms who is living in or returning from travel to an endemic area it’s crucial.
