A 77-year-old New Mexico man hospitalized with plague has recovered, marking the state’s second case this year.
A 77-year-old man in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, has been diagnosed with plague, the second human case in the state this year, according to the New Mexico Department of Health.
He was hospitalized but has since been discharged, with no deaths reported.
Plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, is typically spread through flea bites from infected rodents or direct contact with sick or dead animals.
Health officials urge the public to avoid handling rodents or rabbits, remove rodent habitats near homes, use insect repellent with DEET, apply permethrin to clothing, and maintain flea control for pets.
Symptoms include sudden fever, chills, headache, weakness, and swollen lymph nodes.
Early antibiotic treatment is effective.
The risk to the general public remains low, and no additional cases have been reported.
