This protocol applies to patients with yellow fever who present with no features of severe disease and are suitable for management on an out-patient basis. The approach emphasises structured supportive care with clear, measurable monitoring endpoints.
Non-severe yellow fever describes patients who do not have features of severe disease and can safely be managed on an out-patient basis. Identifying this group correctly is the prerequisite for applying this protocol.
Management centres on a protocolized oral fluid strategy — structured intake tracking with active caregiver involvement — combined with an analgesic and antipyretic regimen appropriate for this disease. The protocol specifies metamizole (dipyrone) for pain and fever management in this population.
Adequate oral fluid intake should result in urination at least four to six times per day — a clear, observable endpoint for assessing hydration status in the outpatient setting.
