hemorrhagic fever
Viral bleeding disease
Hemorrhagic fever refers to a group of severe viral illnesses that damage blood vessels and impair the body's ability to regulate itself, causing bleeding from multiple sites in the body.
Ebola, dengue, and yellow fever are examples.
These diseases typically originate in tropical regions and spread through insect bites or contact with infected animals or bodily fluids.
Symptoms include high fever, fatigue, and internal or external bleeding.
Many hemorrhagic fevers have high mortality rates and no specific treatment.
