Europa monitorizează un posibil focar de ciumă în Rusia: Ce spun medicii despre riscul de răspândire

A laboratory employee in Irkutsk, Russia, died after a test tube broke, raising concerns about potential plague infection. Authorities found no evidence linking her death to pathogens she worked with, but around 200 people who had contact with her are under medical observation. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control is monitoring the situation, noting no confirmed cases of human-to-human transmission. Experts emphasize that while pneumonic plague is serious, its transmission is generally low. Treatment with antibiotics is effective if administered early, and vaccination is only recommended for high-risk groups.
