2022, Acta TropicaCitation Excerpt :Moreover, RRV infection has been identified as a possible emerging infectious disease across the world in the future (Yuen and Bielefeldt-Ohmann, 2021). RRV infection is characterized by rash, fever, arthralgia and rheumatic manifestations (Condon and Rouse, 1995; Harley et al., 2001). In the long term, RRV causes non-fatal polyarthritis that ranges from mild to severe and debilitating in some patients (Flaxman et al., 1998).
Arthritogenic alphaviruses: epidemiological and clinical perspective on emerging arboviruses
2021, The Lancet Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Other non-specific signs and symptoms include arthralgia, myalgia, maculopapular rash, fever, fatigue (chronic fatigue), and lethargy or headache, or both.8 Although most of these symptoms are self-limiting (for less than 6 days91), debilitating arthritis can persist for up to 6 months,8,91–94 and clinical infection is rare (and usually mild) in children. BFV shares the standard symptoms of fever, rash, myalgia, and polyarthritis or polyarthralgia that are common to most arthritogenic alphaviruses, and as such, cannot readily be distinguished on the basis of the clinical symptoms alone.2,38
Ross River virus disease clinical presentation, pathogenesis and current therapeutic strategies
2017, Microbes and InfectionCitation Excerpt :In a larger study of 255 RRVD patients, NSAIDs provided the “best and most effective relief” in 36.4% of cases, 16.4% found aspirin or paracetamol was the most effective and physical intervention (hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, or massage) was most beneficial for 10.3% of patients. Rest was the only relief for 24.1% of patients and 18.5% found no effective treatment for the symptoms of RRVD [14]. The use of etanercept, an anti-tumuor necrosis factor, and methotrexate, a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug, have both proven to be effective for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis [54].

2017, Journal of Equine Veterinary ScienceCitation Excerpt :There are also no reported clinical trials for therapeutic management of horses or humans affected by RRV. Surveillance of human patients affected by RRV found that one half of affected people surveyed reported pain relief to be the most effective management of joint pain (36.4% reported NSAIDs provided the most relief, whereas 16.4% reported aspirin or paracetamol as providing the most effective relief) [14]. Rest was cited by 24.1% of human patients as their main source of relief.
