Yellow fever is an acute viral infection caused by virus – “Flavivirus”. The virus is passed on to people through the bite of a mosquito – “Aedes aegypti”.

Though many cases of yellow fever are mild and self-limiting, yellow fever can also be a life-threatening disease-causing hemorrhagic fever and hepatitis (hence the term “yellow” from jaundice it can cause). Estimated 200,000 cases of yellow fever worldwide, leading to approximately 30,000 deaths. An increase in the number of cases of yellow fever in the last few decades has led to campaigns aimed at improving public awareness and disease prevention for this re-emerging infectious disease.

Yellow fever is found usually among forestry and agricultural workers, but they also happen in cities and jungle areas.

Flavivirus genus

The yellow fever virus (Flavivirus genus) is a single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to the Flavivirus genus. After transmission of the virus occurs, it replicates in regional lymph nodes and subsequently spreads via the bloodstream. This widespread dissemination can affect the bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, kidneys, and liver, in addition to other organs. Tissue damage to the liver, for example, can lead to jaundice and disrupt the body’s blood-clotting mechanism, leading to the hemorrhagic complications sometimes seen with yellow fever.

Symptoms of yellow fever

Each patient may have slightly different symptoms; the following are the most common symptoms:

• Fever.
• Flu-like symptoms, such as headache, vomiting, and backache.
• Bleeding from gums.
• Hematuria (Bloody urine).
• Jaundice (Yellowing of the skin or eyes).
• Weakness and lack of appetite.
• Nausea and vomiting.

Incubation period (Symptoms usually happen within – after exposure to the virus) 3 to 6 days .

Most patients with this initial acute phase of the disease improve spontaneously after approximately three to four days. However, approximately 15% of patients may enter a second phase of the disease that typically appears after a short remission of symptoms (about 24 hours) from the initial phase of the illness. This next toxic phase of the disease is more severe, at which time the high fever returns, and more organ systems become involved. 

In addition to the above symptoms, the following symptoms and signs may also develop:

• Abdominal pain.
• Jaundice.
• Bleeding from the gums, nose, eyes, and/or stomach.
• Blood in the stool and blood in the vomit.
• Easy bruising of the skin.
• Kidney failure.
• Confusion.
• Seizures.
• Coma.

Diagnosis

Because the symptoms during the initial phase of yellow fever are nonspecific and similar to a flu-like illness, diagnosis during this stage can be difficult. Therefore, healthcare professionals make a preliminary clinical diagnosis based on the patient’s signs and symptoms, travel history (when and where), related travel activities, and vaccine history. Various blood test abnormalities may be present in individuals with yellow fever, particularly those who go on to develop the second toxic phase of the disease.

Blood test abnormalities may include a low white blood cell count (leukopenia), a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), elevations in liver function tests, abnormally prolonged blood clotting times, and abnormal electrolyte and kidney function tests. None of these test results is specific to yellow fever and alone allow the health care provider to make a diagnosis. Urine tests may demonstrate elevated levels of urinary protein and urobilinogen. An electrocardiogram (ECG) may reveal heart conduction or rhythm disturbances if cardiac involvement has occurred.

Blood tests may demonstrate the presence of virus-specific antibodies (IgM and IgG) produced by the immune system in response to the infection, though cross-reactivity with antibodies from other flaviviruses may occur. Therefore, specific antibody testing, such as a plaque reduction neutralization test, may be done for confirmation of the yellow fever virus versus others like the Zika virus.

Allopathic treatment for yellow fever

There is no specific allopathic treatment for yellow fever.

Treatment is supportive and aimed at relieving the symptoms, including pain and fever.

Supportive measures implemented depend on the severity of the disease and may include:

• oxygen administration,
• intravenous fluid administration for dehydration,
• medications to increase blood pressure in cases of circulatory collapse,
• transfusion of blood products in cases of severe bleeding,
• antibiotics for secondary bacterial infections,
• dialysis for kidney failure, and
• endotracheal intubation (placement of a breathing tube) and mechanical ventilation in cases of respiratory failure.

Avoid acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) because of the increased risk of bleeding.

For the first few days of illness, infected individuals should also be isolated indoors and/or under mosquito netting to prevent further mosquito exposure, thus eliminating the potential for further transmission of the disease.

Side effects of vaccine

The yellow fever vaccine can have very serious adverse side effects. Healthcare professionals administer the yellow fever vaccine in designated vaccination centers. Healthcare providers need to consider the individual’s underlying health, their risk of exposure to yellow fever, and the contraindications to vaccine administration before recommending it.

To minimize the risk of serious adverse events, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides the following vaccination recommendations:

Contraindications (conditions in which the vaccine should not be given)

• Allergy to a vaccine component.
• Age <6 months.
• Any other disease and or infection.
• Thymus disorder associated with abnormal immune function.
• Primary immunodeficiencies.
• Malignant neoplasms.
• Transplantation.
• Immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory therapies.

Precautions

Avoid vaccination in case of:

• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding

Individuals who do experience side effects from the yellow fever vaccine will generally experience low-grade fever, muscle aches, and headaches. In some cases, serious adverse events from the yellow fever vaccine can occur including life-threatening anaphylactic reactions, yellow fever vaccine-associated neurologic disease (a condition affecting the nervous system), and yellow fever vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease (a condition affecting the internal organs).
