About?

The symptoms of yellow fever occur in two stages. The initial symptoms develop three to six days after infection, and can include: a high temperature (fever) a headache nausea or vomiting muscle pain, including backache loss of appetite This stage will usually pass after three to four days and most people will make a full recovery. However, around 15% of people go on to develop more serious problems, including jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), kidney failure and bleeding from the mouth, nose, eyes or stomach (causing blood in your vomit and stools). Up to half of those who experience these symptoms will die.
