Bubonic Plague Case in Vietnam Veteran Noted
A 21 year old Vietnam furlough serviceman hospitalized in Texas for 16 days last fall was diagnosed with bubonic plague. Dr. David J. Sencer warned delays could have led to pneumonic plague and an epidemic. The Army said the youth had worked around rat-infested buildings in Vietnam and fleas from infected rats likely caused the transmission. He recovered with antibiotics and no further complications.
