Chikungunya virus as a trigger for different renal disorders: an exploratory study

CONCLUSIONS: Several histopathological features were found after chikungunya fever, without virus detection in renal tissue. These findings suggest that chikungunya virus may trigger kidney lesions with varying degrees of severity at different stages of infection. However, the probability that this virus replicates in the renal tissue seems unlikely.PMID:35119686 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-022-01256-6
