Cum se transmite ciuma, care sunt simptomele și cum se tratează?

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is monitoring a potential outbreak of pneumonic plague in Siberia following two deaths linked to the disease. The first victim was a laboratory worker, and a second case is under investigation. ECDC reports no evidence of human-to-human transmission, and the risk of contracting plague remains low globally. Plague can be treated effectively with antibiotics, and patients showing symptoms should be isolated. The WHO is in contact with ECDC to assess the situation and ensure public health safety. Risk factors include contact with wild rodents and fleas in endemic areas.
