Laboratory findings revealed leukopenia in 46.9% and thrombocytopenia in 56.9% of cases, emphasizing the need for monitoring.
Severe neurological complications were rare, with cases of encephalitis and cerebellitis reported, suggesting risks in high-risk populations.
Chikungunya poses a public health threat, with chronic musculoskeletal symptoms impacting quality of life in many patients.
