Septicemic plague is one of the forms of Bubonic Plague. Instead of pustules, the disease is carried through the bloodstream and can be fatal within a matter of hours. The Black Death in Europe between 1347-1352 (with many later recurrences, although on a less dramatic scale) would likely be the date you are looking for. History does not have evidence of a strictly septicemic plague. Historians are also not certain if the Bubonic, Pneumonic, and Septicemic forms of Plague were the cause of the Black Death, but it is the most commonly accepted answer for the disease that killed about half of the population of Europe.

∙ 14y agoBlack Plague and Bubonic Plague started in Europe around 1347. It was a terrible disease that was carried out with black rats and fleas. This terrible disease was affected the Medieval society. It was a terrible because so many peasants died and that nobody was left to farm the land and do the daily work.
The Plague (or called "Black Death") was an epidemic that struck Europe. People from China and Mongolia came with infected fleas carried by rats going aboard ships and that were transported to Italy, Greece and France; when the ships docked, the rats left the ships entering cities bringing the fleas and disease with them. In 1348 the virus, known as the Yersinia pestisbacterium and until 1351 the bacterium had killed 1/3 of Europe. Leaving fewer farmers and other people that held jobs that were important to the economy. The Europeans blamed the Jews for the plague by poisoning the water but it really was caused by flea bites. Other break outs occurred between 1451-1721.
Plague is still around today in small numbers and is treated with antibiotics.
