What are the symptoms of bubonic plague?

Bubonic plague symptoms include:

  • Sudden high fever and chills.
  • Pains in the areas of the abdomen, arms and legs.

  • Large and swollen lumps in the lymph nodes (buboes) that develop and leak pus.

Symptoms of septicemic plague may include blackened tissue from gangrene, often involving the fingers or toes, or unusual bleeding. People with pneumonic plague may have additional trouble breathing and may cough up blood. Sometimes there are symptoms like nausea or vomiting.
