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.
In the bubonic form of plague, the bacteria enter through the skin through a flea bite and travels via the lymphatics to a lymph node, causing it to swell. Diagnosis is by finding the bacterium in the blood, sputum, or fluid from lymph nodes.lague is believed to be the cause of the Black Death that swept through Asia, Europe, and Africa in the 14th century and killed an estimated 50 million people. This was about 25% to 60% of the European population. Because the plague killed so many of the working population, wages rose due to the demand for labor.
