|
The disease in humans has three clinical forms: bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic. |
|
However, the pneumonic and septicemic forms of the plague can be transmitted through infected droplets in the air. |
|
Both pneumonic plague and bubonic plague are caused by the same organism. |
|
In this form, it could be sprayed through the air, infecting anyone inhaling it and causing pneumonic plague, which affects your lungs and can be spread from person to person. |
|
Asymptomatic people exposed to plague aerosol or people with suspected pneumonic plague may be given antibiotics for the duration of the risk of exposure plus one week. |
|
A bioterrorist attack involving the release of these pathogens in aerosol form would also lead to pneumonic plague. |
|
Naturally occurring pneumonic plague is uncommon, although small outbreaks do occur. |
|
Once pneumonic disease is established in a human host, the bacteria can be readily transmitted between individuals. |
|
It did exist, but it was discontinued by the manufacturer back in 1999, because it didn't seem to prevent the lung form of the plague, pneumonic plague. |
|
People who have had contact with anyone infected by pneumonic plague are given prophylactic antibiotics. |
|
In septicemic plague the bloodstream is so invaded by Yersinia that, in untreated cases, death can ensue even before the bubonic or pneumonic forms have had time to appear. |
|
Septicemic plague can occur with either bubonic or pneumonic plague. |

|
|
If bubonic plague is not treated the bacteria can spread through the bloodstream and infect the lungs, causing a secondary case of pneumonic plague. |
|
There are two primary forms of the disease, bubonic and pneumonic. |
|
However, given the rapid onset of the disease and the difficulty diagnosing pneumonic plague, it can rapidly prove fatal in untreated individuals or in a situation where treatment is delayed. |
|
Primary pneumonic plague results from inhalation of aerosolized infective droplets and can be transmitted from human to human without involvement of fleas or animals. |
|
Plague bacteria could be put into a form that might be sprayed through the air, infecting anyone inhaling it and causing pneumonic plague, which affects the lungs and spreads easily from person to person. |
|
A different strain of the disease is pneumonic plague, where the bacteria become airborne and enter directly into the patient's lungs. |
|
The plague is also known to spread to the lungs and become the disease known as the pneumonic plague. |
