Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, has reemerged in Southeast Asia since 2019. A retrospective review of CHIKV cases was conducted. Children commonly presented with high-grade fever, rash, arthralgia, and lymphopenia. Neurological manifestations or shock occurred in 20% of hospitalized children. These findings indicate the need for increased vigilance for CHIKV alongside dengue in travelers from Southeast Asia with suspected mosquito-borne viral infections.
