10 Yellow Fever Symptoms
10. Coma
Severe cases of yellow fever can also have a direct impact on the patient’s brain and, by extension, their mind. The condition can result in delirium, which alters the patient’s mental state. They can become confused more easily than usual, they can hallucinate, experience delusions, experience decreased cognitive abilities, and lose their memory.
Yellow fever will also lead to seizures in some cases, and it can also lead to a coma. While some people can fully recover from a coma, the patient will be at a critical stage where they are likely to lose their life. Between 20 to 50 % of people that contract yellow fever will die.
