just an effective treatment...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubonic_plague

An Indian doctor of Russian-Jewish origin Vladimir Havkin was the first to invent and test a plague vaccine.

The traditional treatments are:

Streptomycin 30 mg/kg IM twice daily for 7 days
Chloramphenicol 25–30 mg/kg single dose, followed by 12.5–15 mg/kg four times daily
Tetracycline 2 g single dose, followed by 500 mg four times daily for 7–10 days (not suitable for children)
More recently,

Gentamicin 2.5 mg/kg IV or IM twice daily for 7 days
Doxycycline 100 mg (adults) or 2.2 mg/kg (children) orally twice daily
have also been shown to be effective.[4]

Types
Depending on the symptoms and the route of infection, plague appears in several forms, classified by the WHO withe different ICD-10 codes:

Main disease:
(A20) Plague (Pestis). Infections caused by Yersinia pestis.
Forms:
(A20.0) Bubonic plague (Pestis bubonica) occurs when Yersinia pestis causes an inflammation of the lymph nodes, making them tender and swollen (from lat. bubo = bump). This is the most common form of plague.
(A20.1) Cellulocutaneous plague (Pestis cellulocutanea) is a very unusual form, with Yersinia pestis causing a skin infection.
(A20.2) Pneumonic plague or pulmonic plague (Pestis pneumonica) occurs when the lungs are infected by Yersinia pestis. The second most common form of plague. It may be a secondary infection, caused by bacteria spreading from the lymph nodes and reaching the lungs, but can also exist on its own, caused by inhalation of airborne bacteria.
(A20.3) Meningeal plague or plague meningitis (Pestis meningealis) looks like meningitis at the outset. It is most common in children and is usually the end result of ineffective treatment for other forms of plague. Unusual.
(A20.?) Pharyngeal plague occurs when Yersinia pestis is consumed, often through food. It can resemble tonsillitis. Very rare form.
(A20.7) Septicemic plague (Pestis septic(h)aemica) occurs when Yersinia pestis multiply in the blood. The third most common form. It is usually associated with hunting and skinning of animals, but can also occur secondary to bubonic and pneumonic plague.
(A20.8) Other forms of plague (Aliae formae pestis) include the milder forms abortive plague, asymptomatic plague and pestis minor, all three often resulting only in a mild fever and light swelling of the lymph glands, usually resolved in approximately a week if appropriate treatment is given.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/mRHHN
