HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

An elevated SGOT mean it's hepatitis. An elevated SGOT which came back to normal by itself means it is either Viral Hepatitis or a drug induced Hepatitis.

Yellow fever shot can cause Hepatitis but it will be a mild one and very unlikely to cause SGOT to go upto 500. Most likely the viral infection combined with Yellow fever shot has caused for SGOT to raise to that level . But since both are self limiting illness your SGOT is coming back to normal by itself.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
