PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
This 15th century painting depicts the characteristic "buboes," or swollen
lymph nodes, of bubonic plague. The buboes are red at first, but then turn
a dark purple or black, which lead the disease to be called the Black Death.
A fourteenth-century plague epidemic killed 25 million people in Europe.
