Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Prognosis
Historical reports have claimed a mortality rate of between 1 in 17 (5.8%) and 1 in 3 (33%).[1] The WHO factsheet on yellow fever, updated in 2001, states that 15% of patients enter a "toxic phase" and that half of that number die within ten to fourteen days, with the other half recovering.[2]
