Document Summary

Stage 1 (infection): headache, muscle and joint aches, fever, flushing, loss of appetite, vomiting, and jaundice are common. Symptoms often go away briefly after about 3-4 days. Stage 2 (remission): fever and other symptoms go away. Most people will recover at this stage, but others may get worse within 24 hours. Stage 3 (intoxication): problems with many organs occur. This may include heart, liver, and kidney failure, bleeding disorders, seizures, coma, and delirium. There is no effective vaccine for yellow fever.
