__// CHIKV manifests itself with an acute [|febrile] phase of the illness lasting only two to five days, followed by a prolonged [|arthralgic] disease that affects the joints of the extremities. The pain associated with CHIKV infection of the joints persists for weeks or months, or in some cases years //__ //__Dengue Fever is an acute [|febrile] infectious disease caused by the [|dengue virus]. Typical symptoms include [|headache], a [|petechial rash], and [|muscle] and [|joint pains]; in a small proportion the disease progresses to life-threatening complications such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (which may lead to severe [|hemorrhage]) and dengue shock syndrome (where a [|very low blood pressure] can cause organ dysfunction). __//

//__Leptospiral infection in humans causes a range of [|symptoms], and some infected persons may have no symptoms at all. Leptospirosis is a [|biphasic disease] that begins with [|flu-like symptoms] (fever, chills, [|myalgias], intense headache). The first phase resolves, and the patient is briefly asymptomatic until the second phase begins. This is characterized by meningitis, liver damage (causing jaundice), and renal failure. The infection is often [|wrongly diagnosed] due to the wide range of symptoms. This leads to a lower registered number of cases than exists. Symptoms of leptospirosis include high [|fever], severe [|headache], chills, muscle aches, and [|vomiting], and may include [|jaundice], red eyes, [|abdominal pain], [|diarrhea], and [|rash]. The symptoms in humans appear after a 4–14 day incubation period.__//
