How are black plague, black death, and bubonic plague different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Same disease: This is the epidemic form of infection by f pestis. It was called "black" because at the end the disseminated intravascular coagulation caused gangrene of the extremities, and "bubonic" because the infected lymph nodes would swell greatly.
