Re: La Libertad, Peru: Possible bubonic plague outbreak

It is worth noting that the sources do not agree on when the cases took ill, how many there are, or when one might have died. One of the more recent articles indicates that the death was on the afternoon of May 3, but the article that started this thread was published on April 22, and already mentions it. Or were there two deaths?

And this article indicates that preliminary tests have come back negative. Odd.

http://www.larepublica.pe/archive/all/larepublica/20100504/22/node/264497/todos/13

Health authorities in La Libertad declared red alert medical stations Chicama district to three probable cases of bubonic plague.
