What  is  Yellow  Fever?

• Yellow  fever  virus  is  found  in  tropical  and  subtropical  areas  in  South  America  and  Africa.  The  virus  is  transmitted  to  people  by  the  bite  of  an  infected  mosquito.  Yellow  fever  is  a  very  rare  cause  of  illness  in  U.S.  travelers.  Illness  ranges  in  severity  from  a  self-­‐limited  febrile  illness  to  severe  liver  disease  with  bleeding.• Yellow  fever  disease  is  diagnosed  based  on  symptoms,  physical  findings,  laboratory  testing,  and  travel  history,  including  the  possibility  of  exposure  to  infected  mosquitoes.  There  is  no  specific  treatment  for  yellow  fever;  care  is  based  on  symptoms.  Steps  to  prevent  yellow  fever  virus  infection  include  using  insect  repellent,  wearing  protective  clothing,  and  getting  vaccinated.
