Pneumonic Plague is the most serious form of plague. It should not be confused with Bubonic Plague, the "Black Death" of Medieval Europe. As it's name implies, it affects the lungs. It can be successfully treated if antibiotics are administered within the first 24 hours of symptoms appearing. Without treatment it is uniformly fatal in 36-48 hours. 98% of the cases reported each year occur in Africa.
