China reports fourth case of plague this month
(Reuters) - Chinese health authorities on Thursday reported a fresh case of bubonic plague in the country's northern Inner Mongolia region, bringing the total number of plague cases to four since the beginning of the month.
A rural herder in Siziwang county was diagnosed with the disease in a local hospital, according to a statement released by the Inner Mongolian health commission.
Prior to the diagnosis the herder had been active in an area where plague sources had been identified, it said.
The person is in a stable condition after treatment at a local hospital and four other people have been quarantined.
The bubonic plague, known as "Black Death" in the Middle Ages, is a highly-infectious and often fatal disease that is spread mostly by rodents. It also has a deadlier variant called pneumonic plague.
Earlier this month three people from Inner Mongolia were hospitalized for plague in two separate cases that were linked to eating wild animals. Two of the people were diagnosed with pneumonic plague and one with bubonic plague. Authorities previously said the two cases were unrelated.
The latest reported case is not in the same region of Inner Mongolia as either of the two earlier cases, and so far there have been no fatalities reported.
Plague cases are not uncommon in China, but outbreaks have become increasingly rare. From 2009 to 2018, China reported just 26 cases and 11 deaths.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The Plague is now not much worse than catching the flue. Antibiotics are very effective in treating the Plague not that it does anything fore the viruses but keeps you from getting secondary infections like pneumonia, which is what killed most of the people. When I was in Lake Tahoe a few years back there was signs that warned you not to feed or approach the squirrels because they where carrying the disease. On a side note people who descended from plague survivors seam to be immune from aids.

Very true... the long term problem is that ghonorea was also easily treated with anti biotics, not anymore!
