Health authorities on Thursday reported two more imported case of chikungunya fever, bringing this year's total to eight.

The latest infections of the mosquito-borne disease involved a 50-year-old man and his eight-year-old daughter, who live in Sai Kung District.

The Centre for Health Protection said the pair visited the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka between July 20 and August 10, but could not confirm if they were bitten by mosquitoes there.

The father developed a fever and joint pain when he was in Bangladesh and sought medical attention there.

His fever had subsided before returning to Hong Kong on Sunday, but he sought treatment at a private hospital two days later because of swollen joints and was not hospitalised.

His daughter developed a fever, cough and fatigue on Tuesday and sought treatment at a private hospital where she's in stable condition.

The SAR has recorded eight imported cases of chikungunya fever so far this year.
