En Colombia el virus del chikungunya (CHIKV) ha causado muchos enfermos, sobre todo en Atlantico, Magdalena y Sucre. El objetivo de esta investigacion es examinar las variables psicologicas presentes en pacientes que hayan sido diagnosticados con este virus. Se entrevisto a 63 personas (41 mujeres, 65,1 %) con el cuestionario general de salud mental de Goldberg y con un instrumento basado en otro, recientemente desarrollado por un equipo de investigacion de la isla Mauricio. A partir de este instrumento se exploraron los sintomas presentados por el CHIKV. El 50 % de la muestra considero que el virus altero su estado emocional. Se hallo insomnio, irritabilidad, y/o tristeza. Los hombres sintieron mas irritabilidad que las mujeres (p = .003). Las autoridades de salud podrian tener en cuenta esta informacion a la hora de tratar a estos pacientes.
