Overview
Physical Examination
- Common physical finding include fever and low blood pressure.
- Findings of decreased vision, retinitis, uveitis and altered visual acuity should point towards ophthalmic involvement.
- Findings of jaundice, bleeding from mucosal sites (gums), hematuria, hemoptysis, bloody stools and body rash should indicate hemorrhagic complications of RVF.
- Disorientation, decreased reflexes and paralysis point towards CNS involvement of RVF.
