Clinical manifestations will present themselves differently depending on the infectious agent. HME will display far more severe symptoms than HGE, and thus requires immediate and more closely monitored medical attention. However both have overlapping symptoms including fever, headache, and nausea.

• Chills
• Fever
• Headache
• Nausea
• Muscle aches / myalgias
• Fatigue

Other possible symptoms include:

• Diarrhea
• Fine pinhead-sized areas of bleeding in the skin (petechial rash)
• Flat red rash (maculopapular rash)
• General ill feeling (malaise)
• A rash appears in fewer than half of cases. ^[1]
