Common symptoms of Mayaro virus infection include which of the following?

Mayaro virus infection typically shows an acute, flu‑like illness with systemic symptoms rather than organ‑specific failure. The most common presentation is fever with malaise and headache, often accompanied by abdominal pain and eye pain due to conjunctival irritation or retro‑orbital discomfort. The illness is usually self‑limited and mild, though joint pains can occur and may persist. Severe liver failure, hemorrhagic shock in all cases, or prominent respiratory distress are not typical features of the standard infection, so the cluster of fever, malaise, headache, abdominal pain, and eye pain best fits Mayaro fever.
