TL;DR
This paper reports seven cases of o’nyong’nyong virus in Nigeria, showing symptoms similar to malaria and Lassa fever.
Contribution
The study highlights the importance of improved diagnostics for emerging viral infections in endemic regions.
Findings
Seven patients presented with acute febrile illness caused by o’nyong’nyong virus.
Clinical symptoms were similar to malaria and Lassa fever, leading to diagnostic challenges.
The findings emphasize the need for expanded arboviral surveillance in Nigeria.
Abstract
We report seven patients with detected o’nyong’nong virus infection, presenting with acute febrile illness at two tertiary hospitals in Nigeria. The clinical presentation mimicked malaria and Lassa fever, highlighting the need for expanded arboviral surveillance and diagnostics to distinguish emerging viral infections in endemic settings.
