ABSTRACT
Dengue, zika and chikungunya are arboviruses transmitted by
arthropods, with increasing prevalence numbers in recent decades.
They are particularly important in tropical and subtropical
regions, although new cases of infections in different sites
of the world have been reported. Clinical presentation includes
fever and symptoms such as asthenia and adynamia, and cutaneous
involvement present in a significant amount of cases.
However, many of these findings are nonspecific and are often
a diagnostic challenge for physicians. Some manifestations are
more distinctive of a particular entity, and these differences
will be fundamental keys in the successful identification of the
type of arbovirus. For example, infection with dengue virus is
principally characterized by a centrifugal rash accompanied by
hemorrhagic manifestations such as petechiae, purpura and ecchymosis.
On the other hand, an important maculopapular rash
in a person with a good general appearance of health can manifest
itself in 90% of cases of zika virus infection. In the case of
people infected by chikungunya virus, only half of them present
a nonspecific rash, which can sometimes be accompanied by
hyperpigmentation. The recognition of these findings in skin
and mucous membranes, as well as the differences that can
be made between these viral exanthems, will be crucial tools
for the dermatologist in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
