| Bubonic plague is characterized by painful, swollen lymph nodes called buboes that are often hot to the touch. |
|
| Though the bubonic plague's namesake buboes are not visible in the picture, their painful presence can be intuited from the victims' postures. |
|
| The symptoms of plague were swollen lymph nodes in the armpits and groin known as buboes, hence Bubonic Plague, and death followed within hours or a few days at the most. |
|
| Expulsion of the poison was thought to be best accomplished by either natural rupture of the buboes or, if necessary, lancing and draining them. |
|
| The bubonic plague typically presents two to eight days after exposure, with sudden onset of fever, chills, weakness, and acutely swollen lymph nodes called buboes. |
|
| A priest came over and administered the Sacrament of Extreme Unction in case the remaining members of the family started developing apple-size pus lumps or buboes or coughing up blood. |
|
| The most characteristic sign, however, is the subsequent appearance of one or more tender, swollen lymph nodes, or buboes, which are usually distributed in the groin and armpits. |
|
| Here the bacteria multiply and form swellings called buboes, from which the term bubonic plague is derived. |
|
| Within the initial phase of the disease, bloodletting was performed on the same side of where the physical manifestations of the buboes or risings appeared. |
|
| Buboes associated with the bubonic plague are commonly found in the armpits, upper femoral, groin and neck region. |
