Malaise, anorexia, headache, followed by onset of fever with stepwise (contrast to rapid rise) increase to ~104 F. Diarrhea is usually absent, but abdominal tenderness and distention present. 10% of untreated cases die of complications resulting from bowel perforation. May cause enlargement of liver and spleen.

Abrupt onset of fever and severe intractable headache. A rash follows 4 to 7 days later. Frequently fatal except in children. A toxin may be responsible. They include severe headache, a sustained high fever, cough, rash, severe muscle pain, chills, falling blood pressure, stupor, sensitivity to light, and delirium. A rash begins on the chest about five days after the fever appears, and spreads to the trunk and extremities but does not reach the palms and soles.

This disease is systemic (fever, chills, headache rash), and the rash resembles that of chicken pox
|
|
Gonorrhoeae
|
Urethritis
|
|

|
Chronic reinfection of the conjunctiva causes an infolding of the eyelashes that results in corneal scarring and blindness

This disease is characterized by a painless papule progressing to an ulcerating vesicle that appears two weeks after exposure; four weeks after exposure the disease may progress to a painful suppurating disease of regional lymph nodes
|
|
Epiglottitis

This disease has a sudden onset and may be fatal within 24 hours
|
|
Meningococcal meningitis
