Dr. Anthony Fiore, a medical epidemiologist with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Friday the severity of the disease varies a great deal.
"The large majority of people get somewhat sick and usually recover within a few weeks," he said.
Symptoms include fever, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and malaise. Dark-colored urine and jaundice -- yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes -- also occurs.
Two to three persons out of every 1,000 who contract the disease die from it, Fiore said.
