Abstract:<\/strong>– ‘Chikungunya’ a viral disease spread by Aedes mosquito is characterized by the presence of fever with chills, arthritis and rash. The arthritis is severe and it usually acquires the sub acute form. It may persist for 3-4 months in some cases. Old aged individuals usually succumb to this disease.<\/p>\n

Homoeopathic medicine mainly Rhus tox 200 was administered as genus epidemicus. The remedies like Eupatorium perfoliatum, Ledum pal, Belladona and Bryonia alba were also used in some cases. Medicines were distrubuted for around 42,000 individuals. A random sample of 100 was taken and Chi-square test was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the prophylaxis which proved beyond doubt that it provided an effective prophylaxis against chikungunya.<\/p>\n

Introduction:-<\/strong> ‘Chikungunya’ a viral disease caused by Arbovirus genus is transmitted by Aedes mosquito. This disease is characterized by chills with fever, arthritis and rash.

Medicines like Eupatorium perfoliatum(849 individuals), Belladona(729individuals), Bryonia alba(1564individuals) and Ledum palustre(626 individuals) were also distributed to those who did not require Rhus-tox. This endevour was implemented by the joint effort of Preventive & Social Medicine department of\u00a0\u00a0 Fr. Muller Homoeopathic Medical College and Dept of Health, Govt of Karnataka.<\/p>\n
