本报告描述了27例马亚罗病毒（MV）病的临床、实验室和流行病学调查结果，这是一种新出现的蚊媒病毒性疾病，在南美洲热带农村地区流行。MV病是一种非致命的登革热样疾病，其特征为发热、寒战、头痛、眼痛、全身性肌痛、关节痛、腹泻、呕吐和持续3-5天的皮疹。严重的关节疼痛是这种疾病的一个突出特点;关节痛有时持续数月，并可能相当丧失能力。报告了两名来自美国的游客在访问秘鲁东部期间患MV病的病例。MV病和登革热在临床上很难区分。
This report describes the clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological findings on 27 cases of Mayaro virus (MV) disease, an emerging mosquito-borne viral illness that is endemic in rural areas of tropical South America. MV disease is a nonfatal, dengue-like illness characterized by fever, chills, headache, eye pain, generalized myalgia, arthralgia, diarrhea, vomiting, and rash of 3-5 days' duration. Severe joint pain is a prominent feature of this illness; the arthralgia sometimes persists for months and can be quite incapacitating. Cases of two visitors from the United States, who developed MV disease during visits to eastern Peru, are reported. MV disease and dengue are difficult to differentiate clinically.
