Sorting the facts from fiction - Pneumonic plague symptoms

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - 09:53

We have covered symptoms of h1n1 or swine flu earlier but the Pneumonic plague or Yersinia pestis is very similar at the early stages.

Symptoms of the Pneumonic plague starts with fever and weakness which then also bring along a headache. After that pneomonia sets in resulting in shortness of breath, chest pain and also coughing up blood. Normally people that are affected with Yersinia pestis dies within one or two days. They die because their lungs usually fill with blood which stops their organs from working and then results in the shutting down of the entire body as well as the main cause of death from the pneumonic plague which is respiratory failure.

This is mostly what people from the Ukraine describe happening although the WHO says this is not the case, doctors however say it is.

Other symptoms include:

  • Chills
  • Rapid breathing
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Blood in sputum
  • Bright red sputum
  • Foamy red sputum
  • Rapid shock
