Overview
There are no pathognomonic laboratory findings for Chikungunya virus infection. Laboratory abnormalities include mild thrombocytopenia (>100,000/mm3), neutropenia, lymphopenia, and elevated liver function tests. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein are usually elevated.[1]

Laboratory abnormalities include the followings:[1]
- Mild thrombocytopenia (>100,000/mm3)
- Leukopenia (including neutropenia and lymphopenia)
