Symptoms
Compare
Coma
Neuropathic effects in the brain stem cause loss of consciousness and sometimes death. Significantly harder to cure
Coughing
Chance of infection by spreading pathogen into surroundings, especially in high density, urban areas
Cytokine Storm
Positive feedback loop between cytokines and immune cells causes fatal immune reaction. Can offer insights into cure development
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
Epistaxis
Haemorrhage of the nasal mucous membranes causes severe nosebleeds, increasing likelihood of infection.
Fatigue
Extreme tiredness makes people weaker and less productive
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
Haemorrhagic Shock
Severe loss of blood volume causes oxygen deprivation, loss of consciousness and death
Headache
Strong headache behind the eyes causes discomfort and reduces ability to work
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
Insomnia
Inability to sleep makes people irritable and less productive
Myocarditis
Infection inflames and damages heart muscles. Severe and potentially fatal
Nausea
Irritated stomach lining leads to discomfort. Slight chance of infection when kissing
Paranoia
Irrational delusions and mental symptoms. Victims distrust of others makes them unlikely to seek treatment or cooperate with others
Pharyngitis
Sore throat causes discomfort and increases likelihood that coughing will spread disease
Pneumonia
Serious fluid build and discharge from the lungs. People in cold climates especially vulnerable
Pulmonary Embolism
Blockage in the pulmonary artery prevents blood from reaching the lungs. Severe and potentially fatal
Pulmonary Fibrosis
Scarring of the lungs causes shortness of breath and extreme coughing. Can be fatal when combined with intense exercise.
Pulmonary Haemorrhage
Severe bleeding throughout the lungs increases infectivity and can result in asphyxiation
Pulmonary Oedema
Potentially fatal heart abnormality causes breakdown of respiratory system, releasing pathogen into the air
