What Is Hemorrhagic Fever?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. What Are the Symptoms?
While every virus can cause slightly different symptoms, all VHFs have a common set of typical symptoms. Most individuals experience a high fever, dizziness, weakness and fatigue. Some cause aches in muscles, bones and joints, as well. These symptoms can lead to more serious symptoms as the disease progresses.
The severity of these symptoms depends largely on the virus causing them. In some cases, hemorrhagic fevers are associated with bleeding in internal organs, under the skin and from the eyes, ears or mouth. If left untreated, the fever can escalate into delirium, internal organ failure, septic shock and death.
