A woman in Los Angeles has been taken to hospital suffering from Bubonic Plague, doctors have confirmed. The woman probably caught the disease after being bitten by infected fleas in her home, said Dr Jonathan Fielding, the county's director of public health.

The patient, who has not been named, was admitted to hospital on April 13 suffering from the characteristic swollen lymph nodes (buboes), fever and other symptoms. The plague diagnosis was confirmed by a blood test.
