The authors describe the first confirmed case of tropical fever caused by Chikungunya virus imported into the Czech Republic. As the virus belonging to the Alphavirus genus of the Togaviridae family is transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes it is classified as an arbovirus. A 43-year-old woman became ill following her arrival from the island of Mauritius where she had stayed during an epidemic. The patient presenting with typical symptoms of the disease recovered completely. Chikungunya virus as the etiological agent was confirmed serologically by the complement fixation reaction in the Czech National Reference Laboratory for Arboviruses.
