What Is Yellow Fever?
5. Toxic Phase
The symptoms of the acute phase will eventually pass for a day or two, but this does not mean the patient is cured. After a day or two, the toxic phase will arrive, and the symptoms are likely to be a lot more severe. The patient will also develop symptoms they did not have previously.
Yellow fever can cause the kidneys and liver to begin to fail, and this can cause jaundice. The patient will likely start urinating less frequently and they can also experience abdomen pain. Many will vomit, and blood will sometimes be in their vomit. The patient’s heart can slow down and their brains will also struggle to function.
