Background: To define the clinical profile of Chikungunya in infants admitted at a District Hospital in South India.Methods: All infants admitted in Government District Headquarters Hospital, Namakkal from January 2019 to December 2019 with fever (defined as axillary temperature > 99.6 F) and any one of the following features; seizure, loose stools, peripheral cyanosis, skin manifestations or pedal edema in children less than one year with chikungunya IgM ELISA positive were included in this study. Details of disease from onset of illness till admission were noted. This was a descriptive observational study.Results: Fifty-six (46) infants were included in this study, out of it 27(58.69%) were males and 19(41.30%) were females. 7(15.21%) infants were less than 1 month of age, 21(45.65%) were 2-6 months old and 18(39.13%) were 7-12 months old. Fever was invariably present but associated constitutional symptoms in infants consisted of lethargy or irritability and excessive cry. The most characteristic feature of the infection in infants was acrocyanosis and symmetrical erythematous rash were noted in most infants. Erythematous macules and patches were observed which later progressed to morbilliform rashes.Conclusions:Atypical clinical manifestations of chikungunya infection in infants as compared to older children to be carefully observed for its proper management. The morbidity and mortality of the disease may be avoided by the rational use of drugs and close monitoring of all infants.

A child younger than one year of age (i.e., birth to twelve months) is termed an infant. Nearly 5.2 million children less than five died in 2019, with close to 75 percent dying in the first year. The infant mortality rate (IMR) is the probability of dying between birth and exactly one year of age expressed per one thousand live births and remains a key indicator to track child health and survival. Globally, infant deaths have markedly decreased during the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) period and beyond. The IMR is closely linked to the neonatal period as the greatest risk of mortality in the first year is during the first twenty-eight days of life. Out of the 3.9 million infants who died in 2019, nearly 2.4 million (61.5 percent) died in the first month. Globally, the leading causes of neonatal mortality are complications from preterm birth, intrapartum-related neonatal events, and neonatal infections. Preterm birth complications, the leading cause of under-five and infant deaths, account for nearly 35 percent of all neonatal deaths. Addressing causes of neonatal mortality is critical in reducing global infant mortality and achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.2. With the COVID-19 pandemic and its predicted long-term effects on maternal and child health, health systems, and food security this challenge is all the greater.
