-The pathognomic sign         of plague is a very painful, usually [[swollen]], and often hot-to-the touch         [[lymph node]], called a [[bubo]]. This finding, accompanied with [[fever]], extreme         [[exhaustion]], and a history of possible exposure to rodents, rodent fleas,         wild rabbits, or sick or dead [[carnivores]] should lead to suspicion of plague.

-Onset of bubonic plague         is usually 2 to 6 days after a person is exposed. Initial manifestations         include [[fever]], [[headache]], and general [[illness]], followed by the development         of painful, swollen regional lymph nodes. Occasionally, buboes cannot         be detected for a day or so after the onset of other symptoms. The disease         progresses rapidly and the [[bacteria]] can invade the [[bloodstream]], producing         severe illness, called [[plague septicemia]].

-Once a [[human]] is [[infected]],         a progressive and potentially [[fatal]] illness generally results unless specific         [[antibiotic]] therapy is given. Progression leads to [[blood infection]] and,         finally, to [[lung]] infection. The infection of the lung is termed [[plague         pneumonia]], and it can be transmitted to others through the expulsion         of infective respiratory droplets by [[coughing]].
+==Physical Examination==
-The incubation period         of primary pneumonic plague is 1 to 3 days and is characterized by development         of an overwhelming [[pneumonia]] with high fever, cough, bloody [[sputum]], and         [[chills]]. For plague pneumonia patients, the [[death]] rate is over 50%.
