As a subset of the acute clinical symptoms of CHIcken gunya infection are also prevalent in Zika and dengue virus infections that are transmitted by the same mosquito vector, confirmatory diagnosis using real-time PCR is recommended for patients exhibiting clinically compatible symptoms to guide patient management decisions.
CHIKV RNA is detectable in serum up to 7 days after onset of symptoms and signs. A positive PCR test during this detection window is confirmatory of chiken gunya infection. A negative PCR test does not exclude infection as viruses decrease over some time and should be followed up by chicken gunya antibody test like IgM
