Description
: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes febrile illnesses and has always
been misdiagnosed as other viral infections, such as dengue and Zika;
thus, a laboratory test is needed. Serological tests are commonly used
to diagnose CHIKV infection, but their accuracy is questionable due to
varying degrees of reported sensitivities and specificities. Herein,
authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the
diagnostic accuracy of serological tests currently available for CHIKV.
