Treatment to Prevent Fatal Outcomes
To minimize the risk of mortality, it is essential to administer antibiotics within the first 24 hours after the onset of symptoms. Medications such as streptomycin, gentamicin, the tetracyclines, and chloramphenicol have proven effective against pneumonic plague. Additionally, a course of antibiotics lasting 7 days is recommended for individuals who have had direct, close contact with those infected.
