It can be cured, but not killed. Yellow fever is a symptom, not a living thing. Essentially, you just asked if a person with yellow fever can be killed, and to that, I would have to answer yes.

Yes, yellow fever is often a fatal disease. It is a viral hemorrhagic disease related to others such as Ebola, Lassa, Dengue, Marburg and Junin. It has many symptoms similar to malaria and while the two diseases are often found in the same regions, they are quite different.

Like all hemorrhagic fevers, yellow fever does most of its damage through internal bleeding. There is no cure, and the treatment mainly consists of trying to keep the patient from going into cardiovascular shock and resulting multi-organ failure.

There is a completely effective vaccine for yellow fever, which ABSOLUTELY should be taken by anyone traveling into tropical and sub-tropical areas where the disease is known to exist, given that the disease is incurable once you have been infected.

Yellow fever is due to flavivirus, and though there are treatments, there is no cure for it. There is however a vaccine, which was invented by Max Theiler for which he won the nobel prize in medicine.
