Symptoms of Yellow Fever

Yellow fever is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes. Symptoms typically begin 3 to 6 days after infection and can include fever, chills, loss of appetite, and muscle pain. Many people improve after these initial symptoms, but some may experience a sudden return of fever, severe abdominal pain, and liver damage, causing yellowing of the skin and eyes. Other signs can include nausea, vomiting, and bleeding. It's important to seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms, especially after traveling to areas where yellow fever is common. Vaccination can help prevent the disease.
