Is a new epidemic causing death in 24 hours
Pneumonic plague is a severe form of the plague caused by the bacteria "Yersinia pestis." It is characterized by its ability to spread from person to person through respiratory droplets produced by coughing or respiratory secretions from the infected individual. It can result from the transmission of bacteria from bubonic or septicemic plague infections, or directly through inhalation of infectious particles. Despite its danger, antibiotic treatment is effective, and the speed of diagnosis and initiation of therapy significantly influence the chances of recovery. It is essential to isolate the infected person and monitor those who have been in contact. Its forms vary between bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic plague, with the latter being the most dangerous because it can spread among humans. The World Health Organization confirmed that the risk outside Russia remains low, despite an incident involving the death of a Russian laboratory worker after suspected exposure to the plague.
