Page "Yellow fever" Paragraph 37

For yellow fever there is, like for all diseases caused by Flaviviruses, no causative cure.

Hospitalization is advisable and intensive care may be necessary because of rapid deterioration in some cases.

Different methods for acute treatment of the disease have been shown to not be very successful ; passive immunisation after emergence of symptoms is probably without effect.

Ribavirin and other antiviral drugs as well as treatment with interferons do not have a positive effect in patients.
