Beijing: Two people have been diagnosed with bubonic plague in Inner Mongolia in northern China. A case of bubonic plague was also detected on August 7. All three patients are from the same family. Those who came in contact with them were quarantined.
Currently, none of them have any symptoms. Rare cases of bubonic plague have been reported in China’s Inner Mongolia and northeastern Ningxia regions in recent years.
Bubonic plague is one of the three forms of bacterial plague. Symptoms of bubonic plague include fever, body aches, cough, and chills. The main cause of bubonic plague in humans is fleas found on rodents such as rats, squirrels and marmots. Sometimes it is also possible to spread the disease through flies.
The Bubonic Plague shook the world in the Middle Ages under the nickname ‘Black Death’. The Black Death claimed nearly 50 million lives in Europe alone. In other words, the Black Death wiped out half of Europe’s population at the time. But today, with proper treatment, lives can be saved.
