What are the symptoms of viral hemorrhagic fever diseases?
The specific symptoms of viral hemorrhagic fever diseases vary by the specific disease, and each individual may experience symptoms differently. Initial signs and symptoms often include: • marked fever • fatigue • dizziness • muscle aches • loss of strength • exhaustion Patients with severe cases often show signs of bleeding under the skin, in internal organs, or from body orifices, such as the mouth, eyes, or ears. While bleeding may occur from many sites around the body, blood loss is rarely the cause of death. Severely ill patients may also experience shock, seizures, nervous system failure, coma, and delirium. Some forms of the viral hemorrhagic fever disease are associated with kidney failure.
