Jaundice (yellow skin and eyes)

One of the most serious and severe symptoms of yellow fever is jaundice. Although jaundice in and of itself is not a disease, it can be an indication of a number of various disorders. Jaundice is referred to in an understandable way as "Yellowing of the skin and eyes." A high quantity of bilirubin, a yellow-orange bile pigment, causes the skin, whites of the eyes, and mucous membranes to turn yellow, a condition known as jaundice. The liver produces bilirubin, a yellow pigment, as a result of the breakdown of dead red blood cells. The liver normally gets rid of bilirubin and old red blood cells.

Jaundice may be a sign of a serious problem with the function of your pancreas, liver, gallbladder, or red blood cells. The causes of jaundice are numerous, including malignancies and gallstones. Hepatitis can occasionally be blamed for jaundice. An infection, an autoimmune condition, significant blood loss, medications, alcohol, or pharmaceuticals can all cause this liver inflammation.
