Young woman dies of plague in Russia
A 28-year-old woman died after contracting the plague in the Irkutsk region of Siberia. She was working as a laboratory technician at a specialized disease control institute. The infection is believed to have likely resulted from an accident while handling a test tube. Up to 200 people have been placed under quarantine due to suspected contact with her. Pneumonic plague, which is considered a highly contagious form of the disease, can be treated with antibiotics if detected early and treatment is started promptly.
