| الوصف: | Amongst the arthritis‐causing arboviruses, i.e. those spread by insects, the alphavirus group is of special interest. These viruses occasionally cause vast outbreaks, such as O'nyong‐nyong in Africa in 1959. In Fennoscandia, Sindbis‐related Ockelbo, Pogosta, or Karelian fever viruses have been found to cause significant morbidity. The major symptoms in addition to joint inflammation are fever, fatigue, headache and rash. The joint symptoms may persist for weeks, even months. The diagnosis is based on the clinical picture and serology. The causative viruses are closely related but not identical. It appears that at least in Finland the Pogosta disease is more common than thought, and the symptoms may often be overlooked. Several factors related to the viruses, their hosts, and global environmental changes may affect the spread of these viruses. All over the world arbovirus‐caused diseases have increased, because of global changes. |
