Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Plague is a serious bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis.
  • It can be transmitted to humans from infected animals, primarily rodents.
  • Timely diagnosis and treatment are critical for patient survival.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on fatal human plague cases in Arizona and Colorado during 1996.
  • To highlight the importance of recognizing plague symptoms in endemic areas.
  • To emphasize the need for rapid medical response to plague outbreaks.

Main Methods:

  • Review of medical records and public health data for plague cases.
  • Case investigation to determine exposure sources and transmission routes.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations and outcomes of affected individuals.

Main Results:

  • Two fatal cases of human plague were identified in Arizona and Colorado in 1996.
  • Both cases presented with severe symptoms consistent with plague.
  • Delayed diagnosis and treatment likely contributed to the fatal outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Human plague remains a threat in certain regions of the United States.
  • Early recognition of plague symptoms and prompt antibiotic treatment are essential for improving survival rates.
  • Public health awareness and surveillance are vital for controlling plague transmission.
