Resumo: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection manifesting in neonates is very rare. The prevalence of the entity was described only recently. We describe a neonate with chikungunya who presented with severe thrombocytopenia - features of multisytem involvement. Identification of this entity based on clinical - epidemiological background helps in appropriate management - aids in prognostication of the affected neonate.
