Today, Wednesday, China announced that a case of the bubonic plague, known as the “Black Death”, had been recorded in the northwestern region of Ningxia.
The black death patient had returned to Yinchuan from Mongolia in northern China.
According to the reports of the Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters in Ningxia Region, as soon as it was confirmed that a person infected with the “black death” had been infected with the bubonic plague, the Ningxia Region issued emergency instructions and warnings from the fourth stage for the prevention and control of the disease, starting at 11 pm Tuesday, Require the competent authorities to make efforts to fully care for the patient, and implement precautionary measures to prevent and control the disease before it spreads quickly.
The bubonic plague “Black Death” is a disease caused by a strong infectious bacteria called “Yersinia” that lives in some animals, especially rodents and fleas, and causes death.
This definition was taken in 1832 from the German physician Justus Hecker in his book “The Black Death” in the fourteenth century, and since then the term “Black Death” has been used in reference to the plague epidemic in the fourteenth century.
The Black Death killed up to 200 million people when it swept across the Middle East and Europe between 1346 and 1353, killing half of London’s population and up to 60 percent of Europeans.
Plague is a contagious disease that may lead to death, and infection is caused by a bacteria called “Yersinia” that lives in some animals, especially rodents and fleas.
The bubonic plague is the most common type of disease that can infect humans, and its name comes from the symptoms it causes, such as painful swelling in the lymph nodes or a “bub” in the groin or armpit.
Symptoms of the plague include high fever, chills, nausea, weakness, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, or groin, and the person feels unwell after two to six days of infection. Plague can also affect the lungs, causing coughing, chest pain and difficulty breathing. The bacteria can also enter the bloodstream and cause what is known as “septicemia” or “sepsis,” which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death.
The body of an infected person who died of the plague can also transmit the disease to people in close contact with him, such as those who prepare the body for burial.
