What is another word for Pulmonic Plague?
Pronunciation: [pʌlmˈɒnɪk plˈe͡ɪɡ] (IPA) 
Pulmonic plague, also known as pneumonic plague or lung plague, is a highly infectious disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. The disease is transmitted through droplets in the air, making it highly contagious and potentially lethal. There are a few different terms that are often used as synonyms for this deadly disease, including bubonic plague (which affects the lymph nodes), septicemic plague (which affects the bloodstream), and Black Death (which is a historic term used to describe the pandemic outbreak of the disease in the 14th century). Despite the potentially catastrophic consequences of an outbreak of pulmonic plague, modern medicine has developed effective treatments and preventative measures to help contain and control the disease.
