Brief Summary:
Chikungunya is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes whose clinical feature is the early joint damage. Approximately 8% of patients have chronic arthropathy resembling to the rheumatoid polyarthritis. The EchoCHIK study we propose is in the context of the epidemic in Martinique which began in January 2014. It should give a better understanding of arthritis and juxtaarticular of CHIK and look for signs that may allow ultrasound predict the evolution of chronic arthropathy of CHIK.

Patient suspected of being infected by chikungunya
Patient (>= 45 ans) suspect d'infection par le virus du chikungunya et présentant des symptomes depuis moins de 10 jours
Other: SF36 (QQoL)
use of quality of life questionnaire (SF 36) ( at enrollment visit, at 3 month, at 6 month and at12 month for the following visits)




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Presence of sonographic signs observed during the initial scan: periarticular infiltration, effusion, positive Doppler, erosions. [ Time Frame: enrollement visit ]
    Progression to chronic form defined by the persistence or recurrence of muscle symptoms (myalgia) and joints (arthralgia, arthritis) more than two months after the onset of symptoms of acute phase.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Presence of clinical and sonographic signs observed at each visit: arthralgia, arthritis clinics, periarticular infiltration, effusion, positive Doppler erosions. [ Time Frame: 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month after the first symptoms of infection by chikungunya virus ]
