Treatment for Yellow Fever

There is no specific treatment or cure for Yellow Fever. In the early stages, dehydration and fever can be corrected with rehydration salts and Paracetamol.

It is possible to identify the presence of Yellow Fever antibodies with a blood test. During the toxic stage, intensive supportive care may improve the outcome for seriously ill patients, but unfortunately this is rarely available when and where you need it, in poor, developing countries.

Anyone who contracts Yellow Fever and then recovers will do so completely and gain full immunity to the virus.
