  • Description:
    Plague symptoms depend on how a person was exposed to the plague bacteria. Plague can take different

    forms, including:

    • Bubonic plague: Fever, headache, chills, and weakness and one or more swollen, tender, and painful lymph nodes (called buboes). This usually results from the bite of an infected flea or from handling an infected animal.

    • Septicemic plague: Fever, chills, extreme weakness, abdominal pain, shock, and possibly bleeding into the skin and other organs. This usually results from bites of infected fleas or from handling an infected animal.

    • Pneumonic plague: Fever, headache, weakness, and a rapidly developing pneumonia with shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and sometimes bloody or watery mucous. May develop from inhaling infectious droplets or from untreated bubonic or septicemic plague that spreads to the lungs.
