Summary
Twenty-four distinct outbreaks of probable chikungunya (CHIK) etiology
were identified throughout Indonesia from September 2001 to March 2003, after
a near 20-year hiatus of epidemic CHIK activity in the country. Thirteen outbreak
reports were based on clinical observations alone, and 11 confirmed by serological/
virological methods. Detailed epidemiological profiles of two investigated outbreaks
in Bogor and Bekasi are presented. Human sera were screened using an ELISA
for IgM and IgG anti-CHIK antibodies. Additionally, reverse transcriptase PCR and
virus isolation were attempted for virus identification. The mean age of cases was
37 ± 18 years in Bogor and 33 ± 20 years in Bekasi. There was no outstanding caseclustering,
although outbreak-affected households were observed to be geographically
grouped within villages. The attack rates in Bogor and Bekasi were 2.8/1000
and 6.7/1000 inhabitants respectively. Both outbreaks started in the rainy season
following increased Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus densities.
