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.
