      Hello, a few weeks back my aunt was diagnosed with dengue. Her platelet count decreased. Is this the case with chikungunya? Does platelet count decrease in chikungunya?

        @nicole No normally the platelet count going low is associated with dengue, with chikungunya its Joint aches and fever.The common symptoms of chikungunya and dengue are continuous high fever for more than three days, extreme weakness, red or brown rashes on the body, followed by joint pain.
