A fever victim is someone who is suffering from a, possibly longterm, fever. Usually the term 'fever victim' is reserved for those who have fever's of such high temperatures that there is a possibility of brain damage.

What does yellow fever do?

Yellow Fever begins with a severe headache, sensitivity to light and a sense of apprehension (that something bad is going to happen). Then the fever begins and terrible body aches set in along with extreme dizziness. The victim then begins to vomit black blood uncontrollably. The tongue swells and the face flushes as the fever continues to rise. Some victims will begin to gradually recover at this stage. Others will see a continued high fever with delirium and heart palpitations. For some, the fever will suddenly drop and the person will feel very normal, as if they have recovered, but this almost always means the victim is going to die. During this 'normal' phase, any sudden exertion will almost always cause a heart attack in the victim and any food eaten will cause organ failure. After a short while during which the patient feels perfectly healthy, the fever will suddenly return with violent convulsions. The organs in the body shut down and just before the victim dies, jaundice turns the skin and eyes a deep golden-yellow, thus the name 'yellow fever'.

Are Dengue Fever and Yellow Fever the same and if not what is the difference?

They are not the same. They are caused by different mosquito-borne flavivirus organisms; an effective vaccine has been developed for the yellow fever virus, but not for the dengue virus. While yellow fever can be prevented, there is no cure for either disease once contracted. While extremely mild cases of either disease may present only fever and headache symptoms similar to influenza, in most cases the two diseases have different symptoms and different effects on the body. In addition to fever and headache, dengue fever typically begins with a bright red rash along with severe muscle and joint pain which cause it to be known as "break-bone fever"; vomiting and diarrhea are also typical. There is a dramatic decrease of platelets and white blood cells along with internal bleeding, similar to end-stage liver disease; the victim may lapse into shock. In addition to fever and headache, yellow fever typically begins with extreme fatigue and chills along with the fever; vomiting and constipation are usual, along with back pains and a reduction of heart rate and blood pressure, and the skin turns yellow from jaundice. After 3 days or so the symptoms improve, only to return with fierce intensity and accompanied by internal bleeding; the victim may become delirious and fall into a coma.
