  1. septicemic plague

    Septicemic plague is a severe bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis, the same bacterium responsible for bubonic plague. It enters the bloodstream directly and multiplies, leading to bacteremia, or bacterial sepsis. In this form of plague, bacteria multiply in the blood, often after a flea bite. Symptoms typically include fever, chills, weakness, abdominal pain, and shock. Without prompt treatment, septicemic plague can be fatal. It is one of the three forms of plague, the other two being bubonic and pneumonic plagues.
