# 热搜 当心“关节疼痛”元凶！近期蚊媒传染病不容忽视（双语阅读）

夏日炎炎，蚊虫也开始活跃起来。除了大家熟知的登革热，还有一种由蚊子传播的病毒性疾病需要我们提高警惕，它就是“基孔肯雅热”。近期，随着旅游季的到来和一些地区蚊虫密度增加，有关这类蚊媒传染病的讨论也上了热搜，提醒大家关注自身健康。

基孔肯雅热的英文：Chikungunya fever

基孔肯雅热是由一种名为“基孔肯雅病毒”的病原体引起的。它就像一个“旅行者”，常见于非洲、东南亚等地，但近年来，受气候和人口流动影响，其活动范围有所扩大，甚至在国内一些南方省份也有散发报告。

一旦被携带病毒的蚊子叮咬，通常在几天后，感染者可能会经历高烧、全身肌肉酸痛，最让人难以忍受的是剧烈的关节疼痛，尤其是手腕、脚踝等处，严重时甚至影响日常活动。部分人还会出现皮疹、头痛、恶心等症状。虽然多数人能在一周左右恢复，但部分患者可能会遗留长期关节不适。

目前，针对基孔肯雅热并无特效药，治疗主要靠对症处理，比如休息、补充水分、使用止痛药缓解症状。最关键的还是预防！外出时，尤其是在流行地区旅行，务必做好防蚊措施：穿长袖长裤、使用驱蚊剂、睡觉时使用蚊帐。同时，也要注意清理身边可能积水的容器，从源头上减少蚊虫滋生。

总之，基孔肯雅热虽不常见，但其带来的痛苦不容小觑。尤其是在蚊虫滋生的季节，保持警惕，做好防护，是对自己和家人健康负责的重要一环。

#Title: Beware the Culprit Behind "Joint Pain"! Don't Underestimate Mosquito-Borne Diseases Recently

With the summer heat intensifying, mosquitoes also become active. Besides the well-known dengue fever, there's another mosquito-borne viral disease that requires our heightened vigilance – it's "Chikungunya fever." Recently, as the travel season arrives and mosquito populations increase in some areas, discussions about such mosquito-borne infectious diseases have hit the trending topics, reminding everyone to pay attention to their health.

Chikungunya fever is caused by a pathogen named the "Chikungunya virus." It's like a "traveler," commonly found in places like Africa and Southeast Asia. However, in recent years, influenced by climate change and population movement, its range of activity has expanded, and even sporadic cases have been reported in some southern provinces within the country.

Once bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus, symptoms typically appear within a few days. Infected individuals may experience high fever, widespread muscle aches, and the most unbearable symptom for many is severe joint pain, especially in areas like wrists and ankles, which can severely impact daily activities. Some people may also develop a rash, headache, or nausea. Although most people recover within about a week, some patients may experience long-term joint discomfort afterward.

Currently, there is no specific antiviral drug for Chikungunya fever. Treatment mainly involves managing symptoms, such as rest, rehydration, and using pain relievers. The most crucial aspect is prevention! When going out, especially when traveling to endemic areas, it's essential to take mosquito prevention measures: wear long sleeves and long pants, use insect repellent, and use mosquito nets when sleeping. At the same time, pay attention to clearing containers that might hold stagnant water around you to reduce mosquito breeding at the source.

In summary, while Chikungunya fever is not common, the suffering it can cause should not be underestimated. Especially during the mosquito-breeding season, staying alert and taking protective measures are important steps to take responsibility for the health of yourself and your family.
