Symptoms of smallpox

The illness begins with fever, malaise, and backache. The rash appears within 2 to 4 days and evolves from spots to bumps to blisters to pustules and finally crusts. The initial skin abnormalities occur on the palms and soles and feel firm, like "BB shots." The distribution tends to occur on the arms and hands and legs and feet on extensor surfaces.
