What is a yellow fever treatment?

For yellow fever there is, like for all diseases caused by Flaviviruses, no causative cure. Hospitalization is advisable and intensive care may be necessary because of rapid deterioration in some cases. Different methods for acute treatment of the disease have been shown to not be very successful; passive immunisation after emergence of symptoms is probably without effect. Ribavirin and other antiviral drugs as well as treatment with interferons do not have a positive effect in patients.[10] A symptomatic treatment includes rehydration and pain relief with drugs like paracetamol. Acetylsalicylic acid (for example Aspirin) should not be given because of its haemodiluting effect, which can be devastating in the case of inner bleeding that can occur with yellow fever.
