Quand le Chik rend "chauve" - When Chik makes you loose your hair

Depuis un mois environ, de nombreuses personnes atteintes de chikungunya ont remarqué une chute brutale de leurs cheveux trois à quatre mois après l’apparition des premiers symptômes. Les dermatologues sont partagés sur la question du lien direct avec le virus mais une majorité d’entre eux pensent qu’il s’agit d’une réaction post-traumatique à la maladie, connue sous le nom d’“effluvium télogène”. Un phénomène observé dans une situation de stress intense tant psychologique que physique.

Since about a month, many of those infected by Chickungunya have notice a significant lost of their hair about 3 to 4 months after the first symptoms.

A majority of dermatologists concludes that it is a Post-traumatic reaction, called 'tetogene effluvium' to the infection.

A phenomena observed in intense stress (psychologically & physically).
