Semantic Type: Disease or Syndrome
NCIt Definition: A Gram-negative bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis. It is usually transmitted to humans from bites of infected rodent fleas. It is manifested as a bubonic, septicemic, or pneumonic plague. In bubonic plague, the lymph nodes adjacent to the site of the skin bite are infected and enlarged. In septicemic plague, the infection spreads directly through the bloodstream. In pneumonic plague, the infection spreads to the lungs either following bubonic plague, or by inhalation of infective droplets. If untreated, it may lead to death.
NICHD Definition: An infection that is caused by Yersinia pestis, which is usually transmitted to humans from infected rodent fleas. It is manifested as a bubonic (lymph node), pneumonic, or septicemic plague. In bubonic plague, the lymph nodes adjacent to the site of the skin bite are infected and enlarged. In pneumonic plague, the infection spreads to the lungs, either following bubonic plague or by inhalation of infective droplets. The term septicemic plague is used when the primary manifestation is a bloodstream infection.
MEDLINEPLUS Definition:
Plague is an infection caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. The bacteria are found mainly in rats and in the fleas that feed on them. People and other animals can get plague from rat or flea bites. In the past, plague destroyed entire civilizations. Today plague is uncommon, due to better living conditions and antibiotics.
There are three forms of plague:
Lab tests can diagnose plague. Treatment is a strong antibiotic. There is no vaccine.
CSP Definition: acute infectious disease caused by Yersinia pestis that affects humans, wild rodents, and their ectoparasites; bubonic plague is the most common form.
MSH Definition: An acute infectious disease caused by YERSINIA PESTIS that affects humans, wild rodents, and their ectoparasites. This condition persists due to its firm entrenchment in sylvatic rodent-flea ecosystems throughout the world. Bubonic plague is the most common form.
