Sierra Jane Downing, a 7-year-old Colorado girl, just survived a battle with a deadly disease that is extremely rare these days, but once wiped out more than a third of medieval Europe: The bubonic plague, or Black Death.. The girl was saved by a quick-thinking doctor at Denver's Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children.
Was there a cure for the Black Death? The disease last appeared in 1665 as The Great Plague. Symptoms changed over time as the microbes evolved and resistance in human beings increased. About a third of Europeâs population died (200 million people) when plague first struck in about 1347. Victims had no idea what the disease was or what had caused it. Most doctors in Medieval times did not know hardly anything about plague or how to cure it. The population decreased quickly.
