Caz de ciumă în Rusia. Medicii încearcă să afle cum s-a produs infectarea

A case of plague has been reported in Russia involving a female researcher who died from a pulmonary form of the disease. The incident occurred in Irkutsk, leading to the closure and quarantine of the hospital where she was treated. Investigations are underway to determine how the infection occurred, with one theory suggesting she may have accidentally broken a test tube containing hazardous material. The woman had recently returned from a work trip to an area with natural infection outbreaks. Plague can be transmitted through infected fleas, contact with sick or dead animals, and respiratory droplets, but it is treatable with antibiotics if detected early.
