How is bubonic plague treated?
It is very important to start treatment of this disease as soon as the symptoms are diagnosed and disease is confirmed.
Once diagnosed for Bubonic Plague, doctor may chose treatment based upon the patient's medical history and severity of the disease. In ancient times when use of antibiotics was not known, the plague was cured by burning the buboes with blood-hot iron rod, which was a barbaric method but did save many lives.
In modern times, use of antibiotics has taken place of burning the buboes. Antibiotics are used to fight bacteria and rest of the treatment is carried out based on the symptoms.
Vaccines are also available and should be taken at least a weak in advance in case of sudden outbreak of plague or if the person is supposed to travel to the plague affected area.

∙ 14y agoThe bubonic plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, can usually be treated successfully with antibiotics in modern day. However, in 1995, a strain of Y. pestis evolved in Madagascar that is resistant to all known antibiotics. Should an outbreak of resistant plague occur, the only advantage we would have over the 1348 epidemic would be modern sanitation, and even that is not available in all areas of the world. Luckily, the most resistant bacterium ever has yet to spread, and we will take precautions should an outbreak ever occur.
