Yellow fever is a tropical disease that is spread to humans by infected mosquitoes. Many yellow fever infections are mild, but the disease can cause severe, life-threatening illness. Yellow fever is found only in Africa and South America. Yellow fever is preventable by immunization. Travelers to countries with yellow fever should get the yellow fever vaccine.

Now back to you: Yellow fever is a tropical disease that is spread to humans by infected mosquitoes. Many yellow fever infections are mild, but the disease can cause severe, life-threatening illness. Symptoms of severe infection are high fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, vomiting, and backache. After a brief recovery period, the infection can lead to shock, bleeding, and kidney and liver failure. Liver failure causes jaundice (yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes), which gives yellow fever its name.

It can be diagnosed by a blood test. People are at risk if they travel to an area where there is yellow fever in humans or monkeys and there are mosquitoes to spread the virus.

There is no specific treatment for yellow fever. Persons with yellow fever should rest and drink plenty of fluids. They should be kept away from mosquitoes for the protection of others. Most people get better after a long recovery period.

Yellow fever can be prevented by vaccination.
