Symptoms
Compare
Abscesses
Pockets of infected flesh are painful and act as breeding grounds for the pathogen, increasing infection rates when burst
Acute Encephalitis
Multiple inflammatory lesions in the brain cause severe neurological damage resulting in death
Coma
Neuropathic effects in the brain stem cause loss of consciousness and sometimes death. Significantly harder to cure
Corneal Ulceration
Pustules form on the surface of the eye, causing inflammation and can trigger blindness. Severe and slows work on cure
Coughing
Chance of infection by spreading pathogen into surroundings, especially in high density, urban areas
Diarrhoea
Pathogen active in digestive tract, causing infection through faeces and potentially lethal dehydration. Poor countries v. vulnerable
Dysentery
A complete breakdown in the digestive system causes infected sewage, dehydration, starvation and death
Fever
Increase in temperature, contagiousness and severe dehydration, which can be fatal
Haemoptysis
Coughing up blood from inflamed bronchi increases infectivity and is fatal in extreme cases
Hemorrhagic Shock
Severe loss of blood volume causes oxygen deprivation, loss of consciousness and death
Hyper sensitivity
Increases likelihood of allergic reactions which can distract the immune system. Rich regions particularly vulnerable
Immune Suppression
Pathogens attach to lymphocytes, suppressing immune system and allowing significantly greater freedom of mutation. Can be lethal
Inflammation
Inflammation obstructs bodily processes. Swelling can obstruct breathing and be fatal
Internal Haemorrhaging
Arterial membranes break down, causing rapid internal bleeding and death
Nausea
Irritated stomach lining leads to discomfort. Slight chance of infection when kissing
Necrosis
Large swathes of infected tissue lose blood supply and become fatal sources of gangrene. Decomposed bodies remain a vector of transmission
Osteomyelitis
Pathogen infects bone and joints, causing limb deformities and potentially lethal sepsis
Pneumonia
Serious fluid build and discharge from the lungs. People in cold climates especially vulnerable
Pulmonary Oedema
Potentially fatal heart abnormality causes breakdown of respiratory system, releasing pathogen into the air
Purpura
Purple spots and patches form under the skin as blood vessels leak throughout the body. Can be fatal.
Pustules
Highly recognisable raised pustules form - filled with thick opaque fluid which can transmit infection if burst
Rash
Flat red spots start in the mouth then spread to the rest of the body. Slight increase in infectivity
Skin Lesions
Lesions on the limbs and face become raised and sores break open in the mouth, significantly increasing infectivity
Sneezing
Fluid discharge through sneezing greatly increases infection rates
