- Abstract
Introduction: Chikungunya fever is an infectious disease caused by the Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), with joint pain being the most common symptom in these cases. The disease often presents with musculoskeletal dysfunctions (MS) that can sometimes be debilitating. In Brazil, since 2014, cases have been identified, with high infection rates. In the state of Amapá, in the far north of the country, there have been no studies that profile the infected population and their clinical and musculoskeletal manifestations post- Chikungunya infection. Objective: To identify the prevalence of musculoskeletal manifestations and factors associated with joint pain in individuals with Chikungunya fever in the state of Amapá, Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional and retrospective study analyzed data from the SINAN NET system of the Ministry of Health (MH) from 869 individuals infected with CHIKV. Sociodemographic and clinical data from diagnosed individuals were used. Data correctly filled out in accordance with the MH identification and notification form were included in the study, while incompletely filled forms were excluded. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed, with a significance level of 5% (p < 0.05) and a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Muscle pain (75.4%) and back pain (57.3%) were the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions. The results indicate a positive and direct association between joint pain and arthritis (OR=2.56/CI = 1.90-3.46); fever (OR: 2.42; CI: 1.27-4.60); back pain (OR: 4.34; CI: 3.26-5.80); myalgia (OR: 4.89; CI: 3.43 - 6.98); headache (OR: 3.69; CI: 2.45--5.55); and rash (OR: 1.89; CI: 1.44-2.48). Conclusion: In the analyzed sample, it was observed that muscle pain and back pain were even more prevalent than joint pain. The presence of these two musculoskeletal complaints is still strongly associated with complaints of joint pain in these individuals. These findings may alert healthcare professionals to a more rigorous monitoring of individuals with multiple musculoskeletal conditions after CHIK, with the aim of preventing the possible chronicity of joint complaints.
