Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Posted November 7, 2002 NY Treats 2 for First Likely Plague in Century (Reuters) - Two people visiting New York from New Mexico were being treated in isolated hospital rooms on Thursday with symptoms of bubonic plague, the first likely cases of the deadly bacterial disease in the city in more than 100 years, officials said. Health officials announced on Wednesday night that a 53-year-old man had tested " presumptively positive " for bubonic plague and his 47-year-old wife had similar symptoms, but test results were not yet known.
