The symptoms include fever, jaundice, Diarrhea, headache, sore throat, encephalopathy, generally feeling unwell and muscular aches. In severe cases, haemorrhage (bleeding) from small blood vessels leads to a red rash forming on the membranes of the eyes, inside of the eyelids, mouth, skin the internal organs, seizures and death.
