Acute symptoms such as [[rash]], [[Bleeding|hemorrhages]], [[Necrosis|necrotic]] [[angina]], [[Fever|high temperature]], and [[tachycardia]] mark the third ATA stage. The [[White blood cell|leukocyte]] count continues to fall. [[Bleeding time]] increases, and the [[Coagulation|coagulability]] of the blood is delayed. [[Bleeding|Hemorrhages]] occur in the nose, [[pharynx]], [[esophagus]], gut, [[kidney]], [[bladder]], and [[uterus]]. [[Bleeding|Hemorrhages]] can be severe and difficult to control, resulting in significant blood loss and even death. Patients develop [[angina]] several days following the formation of the petechial rash, which in severe cases might be necrotic or gangrenous. The tonsils completely decomposed, followed by acute edema of the [[laryngeal vestibule]] and blockage within 3-8 days with [[Necrosis|necrotic]] masses and [[Thrombus|blood clots]]. [[Asphyxia]] and [[aphonia]] ensued, and many people died as a result. The [[Gangrene|gangrenous]] process progressed to the [[soft palate]], gums, tongue, lips, cheeks, and [[nasal cavity]], resulting in [[tooth loss]] and cheek perforation. These symptoms were particularly prevalent in individuals who had an imbalanced diet and in children. Severe [[angina]]l symptoms were followed by an increase in [[Bleeding diathesis|hemorrhagic diathesis]]. Acute [[hepatitis]] typically manifests itself during the third ATA stage. The [[liver]] would become slightly enlarged, while the [[spleen]] would remain normal. There was [[microhematuria]] and, on rare occasions, [[hematuria]]. Even in the most severe cases, significant improvements and even recovery within 1-2 weeks was feasible. Heart paralysis, uncontrollable [[Bleeding|hemorrhages]], [[Asphyxia|suffocation]], [[pneumonia]] with pulmonary abscesses, and [[gangrene]] all contributed to death.
