How is pneumonic plague spread?
Pneumonic Plague is the most serious form of plague. It should not be confused with Bubonic Plague, the "Black Death" of Medieval Europe. As it's name implies, it affects the lungs. It can be successfully treated if antibiotics are administered within the first 24 hours of symptoms appearing. Without treatment it is uniformly fatal in 36-48 hours. 98% of the cases reported each year occur in Africa.

How do you cure plague?
How do you get it? You get primary pneumonic plague when you inhale plague bacteria from an infected person or animal. You usually have to be in direct or close contact with the ill person or animal. You get secondary pneumonic plague if you have untreated bubonic or septicemic plague that spreads to your lungs. What are the symptoms? Symptoms usually develop within 1 to 3 days after you are exposed to airborne droplets of plague bacteria. Pneumonia begins quickly, with shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and sometimes bloody or watery sputum. Other symptoms include fever, headache, and weakness. Is it contagious?Pneumonic plague is contagious. If someone has pneumonic plague and coughs, droplets containing Y. pestis bacteria from their lungs are released into the air. An uninfected person can then develop pneumonic plague by breathing in those droplets. Y. pestis is found in animals throughout the world, most commonly in rats but occasionally in other wild animals, such as prairie dogs. Most cases of human plague are caused by bites of infected animals or the infected fleas that feed on them. In almost all cases, only the pneumonic form of plague (see Forms of Plague) can be passed from person to person. A health care provider can diagnose plague by doing laboratory tests on blood or sputum, or on fluid from a lymph node. When plague is suspected and diagnosed early, a health care provider can prescribe specific antibiotics (generally streptomycin or gentamycin). Certain other antibiotics are also effective. Left untreated, bubonic plague bacteria can quickly multiply in the bloodstream, causing septicemic plague, or even progress to the lungs, causing pneumonic plague.
