Bubonic Plague
The bubonic plague is the best-known manifestation of the bacterial disease, plague. It is an infection that enters through the skin and travels through the lymphatics. This is a disease that kills 50% of infected patients within four to seven days without treatment. Many believe that this disease is the “Black Death” that killed millions of people throughout Europe in the 1340s. This disease is known to develop from a bite of an infected flea, which are usually found on rodents such as rats, who seek out new prey once their hosts die. This bacteria will rapidly spread to the lymph nodes and multiply.
It is said that the bubonic plague has taken the lives of over two-hundred million people. The first recorded epidemic of this disease was in the Byzantine Empire during the sixth century. In modern times, there have been several classes of antibiotics that are effective in treating this disease. Those that have the bubonic plague today usually completely recover with immediate diagnosis and treatment.
