Viral infections causing fever and bleeding, including dengue, yellow fever, and Ebola.
During active disease, medical records confirming the diagnosis and showing the illness is ongoing are the core evidence. After the disease resolves, the focus shifts to records documenting any lasting damage. Lab results showing reduced kidney or liver function, imaging of affected organs, neurology evaluations, or specialist findings that tie a condition directly to the hemorrhagic fever infection are all relevant. Records from the time of the acute illness help establish that a later condition is a residual of the infection rather than an unrelated problem. Statements from you or people who know you describing how lingering symptoms affect your work, daily tasks, or activities also help show the severity of any residual condition under the body system being evaluated.
Conditions that are often caused or made worse by this one. If you have any of these, they may be claimable as secondary service connection.
