Introduction to differential diagnosis of plague types

Introduction to plague types

Plague is an infectious disease caused by Yersinia pestis

Yersinia pestis is mainly divided into Brucella pestis and Peruvian pestis

Plague is divided into two types: pneumonic plague and bubonic plague

The importance of identification of plague types

Differential diagnosis can help determine the type of epidemic and take corresponding prevention and control measures

Differential diagnosis helps develop effective treatment options and prevention strategies

How to identify plague types

Clinical manifestations and symptom identification

Symptoms of pneumonic plague mainly include high fever, headache, cough and difficulty breathing.

Hyperthermia: body temperature above 39 degrees Celsius

Headache: A severe and persistent headache

Symptoms of bubonic plague include swollen lymph nodes, skin rashes, and chills.

Lymphadenopathy: local lymph nodes are significantly swollen

Skin rash: herpes or sores on the skin

Laboratory testing and identification

Bacterial culture and identification

Isolate Yersinia pestis and determine the type of epidemic through culture and identification

Molecular biology detection methods

Detection of Yersinia pestis DNA using PCR technology

Determining the type of epidemic through genetic sequence analysis

Immunological detection methods

Serological testing

Detection of antibody levels in body fluids by serology test

Detection of specific plague antibodies confirms plague infection

In situ immunohistochemical detection

Detection of plague antigens in patient tissues

By immunofluorescence staining or immunohistochemical staining

Precautions for differential diagnosis of plague types

There is some overlap in the clinical manifestations and symptoms of pneumonic plague and bubonic plague

Clinical symptoms, laboratory test results and epidemiological investigations need to be considered comprehensively

Differential diagnosis requires the participation of professional medical institutions and skilled medical personnel

Plague is an infectious disease that requires compliance with protective measures and operating practices

Report the epidemic situation and related information in a timely manner, and do a good job in epidemic monitoring and traceability

Plague is a notifiable disease and requires reporting and handling in accordance with regulatory requirements
