Diving into the Intricacies of Yellow Fever: A Five Point Informative Showcase

Clinical Manifestations of Yellow Fever

Yellow Fever is notorious for its broad range of symptoms. The incubation period typically lasts three to six days, after which symptoms may start appearing.

The infection may be mild with symptoms like fever, headache, nausea, and vomiting. But in stark cases, toxic phase of yellow fever can start, leading to high fever, jaundice, bleeding, and eventually shock and multiple organ failure.

These extreme manifestations are seen in roughly 15% of individuals infected, and among these, the fatality rate is about 20-50%, making it a severe and frequently lethal disease.
