CDC Urges Physicians To Watch Out For Plague.

reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging physicians to “think about the possibility of plague when they see patients with flu-like symptoms this summer, and should ask if they’ve been camping, hiking or around dead rodents.” The prompting comes as “eleven cases of plague have been recorded in the U.S. this year,” with three reported deaths. CNN (8/25, Goldschmidt) and MSN (8/26, Wofford) also have coverage. http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/cdc-doctors-keep-eye-out-plague-n415781
