Fever and very high fever

Yellow fever can develop without any noticeable symptoms. One of the less severe signs that you should be aware of is fever.

The temperature of a person varies during the day and is affected by different everyday activities and emotions. If an adult develops a fever over 105°F (40.5°C) and it does not go away with treatment, it is a medical emergency that could be hazardous to life, and you should call 911.
