Plague (Yersinia Pestis) People who have bubonic or septicemic plague can also develop Y. pestis infection in the lungs. Symptoms include high fever, chills, headaches, chest pain, rapid breathing, severe shortness of breath and cough that might bring up blood. Without proper treatment, the disease can quickly lead to death.

Pneumonic plague Pneumonic plague is a severe lung infection caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. Symptoms include fever, headache, shortness of breath, chest pain, and cough. They typically start about three to seven days after exposure. It is one of three forms of plague, the other two being septicemic plague and bubonic plague. The pneumonic form may occur following an initial bubonic or septicemic plague infection. It may also result from breathing in airborne droplets from another person or cat infected

Plague Plague is caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis. Rodents, such as rats, carry the disease. It is spread by their fleas. People can get the plague when they are bitten by a flea that carries the plague bacteria from an infected rodent. In rare cases, you may get the disease when handling an infected animal.

Bubonic plague Bubonic plague is one of three types of bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis. One to seven days after exposure to the bacteria, flu like symptoms develop. These include fever, headaches, and vomiting. Swollen and painful lymph nodes occur in the area closest to where the bacteria entered the skin.

Bubonic Plague Causes Once infected, bubonic plague causes such symptoms as headaches, fever, and swollen, tender lymph glands. Bubonic plague is the most common form of plague. Bubonic plague is caused by Yersinia pestis, also known as plague bacteria.This bacteria also causes the other two forms of plague: septicemic plague and pneumonic plague (see Types of Plague) .owever, other animals can carry this bacteria, too, such as prairie dogs, lice, and chipmunks. Bubonic plague is the most common form of plague. Bubonic plague is caused by Yersinia pestis, also known as plague bacteria.

Plague (Black Death) If not treated, the infection can spread to other areas of the body. Septicemic plague: This form of plague is a result of plague bacteria entering the bloodstream. It can occur on its own or may develop from bubonic plague. Symptoms include fever, chills, weakness, abdominal pain, and shock.There can be bleeding and tissue death, especially of the fingers and toes.neumonic plague: In this form of the illness, symptoms of other types of plague can be present, but the characteristic clinical picture of pneumonia is present. The plague bacteria spread to the lungs or infect the lungs directly when infected droplets in the air are inhaled.

The Black Death: Bubonic Plague The Black Death: Bubonic Plague. In the early 1330s an outbreak of deadly bubonic plague occurred in China. The bubonic plague mainly affects rodents, but fleas can transmit the disease to people. Once people are infected, they infect others very rapidly. Plague causes fever and a painful swelling of the lymph glands called buboes, which is how it gets its name. The disease also causes spots on the skin that are red at first and then turn black.

Bubonic plague The three types of plague are the result of the route of infection: bubonic plague, septicemic plague, and pneumonic plague. Bubonic plague is mainly spread by infected fleas from small animals. It may also result from exposure to the body fluids from a dead plague infected animal.ubonic plague is one of three types of bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis. Three to seven days after exposure to the bacteria flu like symptoms develop. This includes fever, headaches, and vomiting. Swollen and painful lymph nodes occur in the area closest to where the bacteria entered the skin.

What Is the Bubonic Plague? Bubonic plague is the most common form of plague, an illness that occurs in humans, rodents, and ectoparasites (fleas and lice).The condition is caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria and characterized by large, infected lymph nodes called buboes.hen an animal or person is infected with Yersinia pestis, the bacteria affect the lymph system, causing the characteristic symptoms. If bubonic plague is left untreated, plague bacteria can quickly multiply in the bloodstream, causing septicemic plague.

Bubonic Plague Symptoms An Introduction to Bubonic Plague Symptoms. When a person becomes infected with the bacteria that cause bubonic plague (Yersinia pestis), the bacteria begin to multiply within the lymph system. (The lymph or lymphatic system is a major component of your body's immune system.

Symptoms Plague symptoms depend on how the patient was exposed to the plague bacteria. Plague can take different clinical forms, but the most common are bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic. Forms of plague. Bubonic plague: Patients develop sudden onset of fever, headache, chills, and weakness and one or more swollen, tender and painful lymph nodes (called buboes).

The Plague The plague is a serious bacterial infection that can be deadly. Sometimes referred to as the black plague, the disease is caused by bacteria called Yersinia pestis.This bacteria is found on animals throughout the world and is usually transmitted to humans through fleas.ou may also experience painful, swollen lymph glands, called buboes. These typically appear in the groin, armpits, neck, or site of the insect bite or scratch. The buboes are what gives bubonic plague its name.

- Bubonic plague is one of three types of bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis. Three to seven days after exposure to the bacteria flu like symptoms develop. This includes fever, headaches, and vomiting. Swollen and painful lymph nodes occur in the area closest to where the bacteria entered the skin.n the bubonic form of plague, the bacteria enter through the skin through a flea bite and travels via the lymphatics to a lymph node, causing it to swell. Diagnosis is by finding the bacterium in the blood, sputum, or fluid from lymph nodes.

Biological Warfare What Is Pneumonic Plague? Plague is an infectious disease that affects animals and humans. It is caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, which are found in rodents and their fleas. Plague occurs in many areas of the world, including the United States. Pneumonic plague occurs when Yersinia pestis infects the lungs.

- Pneumonic plague symptoms may appear as quickly as one day after exposure to the bacteria and include: 1  trouble breathing. 2  chest pain. 3  cough. 4  fever. 5  headache. 6  overall weakness. 7  bloody sputum (saliva and mucus or pus from the lungs).

- 1 A sore usually forms at the site of the bite. Plague bacteria enter the skin and travel to the nearest lymph node (gland), usually in the groin, underarm, or neck. The lymph node becomes red, swollen, and painful, and can leak infected fluid.  Septicemic (blood) Plague is a blood infection with plague bacteria. It can result from fleabites, touching plague-infected materials with broken skin, or spread of infection from the lung or bubo. Once plague bacteria are in the bloodstream, severe illness and death can follow quickly.

Plague Plague usually is spread from animal to animal and from animal to human by the bite of an infected flea. Less often, it is spread by direct contact with the body fluids or tissues of a sick or dead animal. For example, a person might catch plague while skinning an infected rabbit.

Symptoms of the Plague “The first sign of the plague was that swellings appeared in the groin or the armpits. Some of the swellings became as large as an apple, sometimes they were the size of an egg. The deadly swellings then began to spread in all directions over the body. Then the disease changed. Black or red spots broke out, sometimes on the thigh or arm.
