The beginning of the Dark Ages all over again. Pneumonic plague is different than bubonic plague, but in many cases the latter can precede and even be one of the causes of the former.
A resident of Coconino County, Arizona, died from pneumonic plague, the first such death in the county in almost two decades, officials announced on Friday.

The resident died from pneumonic plague, the first such death in Coconino County, Ariz., since 2007, the county said.
