Chikungunya, also known as CHIKV, is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by the chikungunya virus. The name “chikungunya” is derived from a word in the Kimakonde language, meaning “to become contorted,” which describes the stooped appearance of sufferers with joint pain. The Chikungunya IgG/IgM rapid assay kit, also referred to as the CHIKV IgG/IgM rapid test, is a crucial tool in the diagnosis and management of chikungunya infections. It enables the rapid detection of specific antibodies that the body produces in response to the virus, facilitating timely medical intervention and control measures.
