Chronology of Yersinia pestis infection Outbreaks("WHO | Plague".)
Date Region Affected Suspected, Probable & Confirmed Cases Deaths Details
15 October 2017 Seychelles - Suspected Plague (Ex- Madagascar) 1 0
  • On 10 October 2017, the Seychellois Ministry of Health notified WHO of a probable case of pneumonic plague
  • The probable case is a 34-year-old man who had visited Madagascar and returned to Seychelles on 6 October 2017. He developed symptoms on 9 October 2017 and presented to a local health centre(pneumonic plague infection suspected, isolated and treated)
  • 11 October, rapid diagnostic test (RDT) preformed, sputum sample was weakly positive.
  • October 9 to 11 2017, eight of his contacts developed mild symptoms and have been isolated
  • October 13 was the last day of monitoring of over 320 contact persons of the probable case
  • Contact tracing is done thoroughly and 577 children and 63 teachers in potential contact with one of the individual identified by contact tracing were given antibiotics.
2 October 2017 Madagascar 73 17
  • The outbreak started following the death of a 31-year-old male from Ankazobe District in the Central Highlands (Hauts-Plateaux), a plague-endemic area. Since then, the Ministry of Public Health of Madagascar enhanced field investigations, contact tracing, surveillance, and monitoring all close contacts
  • As of 30 September, 10 cities have reported pneumonic plague cases and the three most affected districts include: the capital city and suburbs of Antananarivo (27 cases, 7 deaths), Toamasina (18 cases, 5 deaths), and Faratshio (13 cases, 1 death)
  • In addition to the 73 cases of pneumonic plague, from 1 August to 30 September, 58 cases of bubonic plague including seven deaths have been reported. One additional case of septicaemic plague has also been reported, and one case where the type is not specified
29 September 2017 Madagascar 51 12
  • On 23 August 2017, a 31-year-old male from Tamatave, visiting Ankazobe District in central highlands, developed malaria-like symptoms. On 27 August, he developed respiratory symptoms during his journey in a shared public taxi from Ankazobe District to Tamatave (via Antananarivo). His condition worsened and he died.
  • In addition to the 51 suspected, probable and confirmed cases of pneumonic plague, and during the same period another 53 cases of bubonic plague including seven deaths have been reported throughout the country. One case of septicaemic plague has also been identified and they were not directly linked to the outbreak.
  • Additionally, 31 people who came into contact with this case either through direct contact with the primary case or had other epidemiological links, became ill, and four cases of them died
  • The outbreak was detected on 11 September, following the death of a 47-year-old woman from Antananarivo, who was admitted to a hospital with respiratory failure caused by pneumonic plague
9 January 2017 Madagascar 62 cases (6 confirmed, 5 probable, 51 suspected) 26 (case fatality rate of 42%)
  • Of the 11 samples tested, 5 were positive for plague on rapid diagnostic test and 6 are now confirmed at Institut Pasteur laboratory. Of the total reported cases, 5 are classified as pneumonic plague cases and the remaining as bubonic plague
  • Retrospective investigations carried out in those two districts showed that it is possible that the outbreak might have started in mid-August 2016. The investigation in neighbouring villages is still ongoing. On 29 December, an investigation carried out within 25 km of the initial foci in Befotaka district has reported three deaths and is being investigated further for possible linkage to the outbreak
6 September 2015 Madagascar 14 10
  • The Ministry of Health of Madagascar has notified WHO of an outbreak of plague. The first case was identified on 17 August in a rural township in Moramanga district. The case passed away on 19 August
  • All confirmed cases are of the pneumonic form. Since 27 August, no new cases have been reported from the affected or neighbouring districts
21 November 2014 Madagascar 119 40
  • On 4 November 2014, WHO was notified by the Ministry of Health of Madagascar of an outbreak of plague. The first case, a male from Soamahatamana village in the district of Tsiroanomandidy, was identified on 31 August. The patient died on 3 September
  • Only 2% of reported cases are of the pneumonic form
  • Cases have been reported in 16 districts of seven regions. Antananarivo, the capital and largest city in Madagascar, has also been affected with 2 recorded cases of plague, including 1 death. There is now a risk of a rapid spread of the disease due to the city’s high population density and the weakness of the healthcare system. The situation is further complicated by the high level of resistance to deltamethrin (an insecticide used to control fleas) that has been observed in the country
10 August 2010 Peru 17 -
  • As of 30 July 2010, the Ministry of Health in Peru confirmed a total of 17 cases of plague in Ascope province of Department La Libertad. Of these, four are pneumonic plague, 12 are bubonic plague and one was septicemic plague. The onset of symptoms for the last reported case of pneumonic plague was on 11 July 2010. During the investigations, 10 strains of Y. pestis were isolated from humans, rodents and domestic cats
11 August 2009 China 12 3
  • On 1 August 2009, a cluster outbreak of pulmonary plague cases in the remote town of Ziketan, Qinghai province was reported by the Ministry of Health (MoH), China.
  • On 26th July 2009, the first case was a 32 year old male herdsman, who developed fever and hemoptysis was reported. He died enroute to hospital.
  • On 30 July, 11 people who had close contact with the case (mainly relatives who attended the funeral) were all hospitalized as they developed fever and cough. They were all tested positive for plague.
  • On 2 August 2009, 2 people who helped to bury the corpse, 64 year old father-in-law of the first case and a 37 year old male neighbour of the first case also died.
  • On August 6 2009, the local health authority isolated 332 close contacts for further medical observation, and implemented traffic control around affected area. Preventive measures were taken to stop teh spread.
  • Epidemiological investigation showed that the source of this outbreak was a wild marmot, which had contact with the dog of the index case.
7 November 2006 Democratic Republic of the Congo 1174 50
  • As of 29 September 2006, WHO received reports of a suspected pneumonic plague outbreak in 4 health zones in Haut-Uele district, Oriental province in the north-eastern part of the country.
  • More than 50 samples have been collected and analysed; however, the diagnosis of plague has not been finally laboratory confirmed.
13 October 2006 Democratic Republic of the Congo 626 42
  • WHO has received reports of a suspected pneumonic plague outbreak in 2 health zones in Haut-Uele district, the majority reported from Wamba health zone in Oriental province in the northern part of the country
  • However, the low case fatality ratio is unusual for pneumonic plague which suggests that the number of suspected cases may be an overestimation
  • Preliminary results from a rapid diagnosis test in the field found three samples positive, out of eight
14 June 2006 Democratic Republic of the Congo 100 19
  • Suspected cases of bubonic plague have also been reported but the total number is not known at this time. Preliminary results from rapid diagnostic tests in the area confirm pneumonic plague.

Differentiating Thyroid adenoma from other Diseases

The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate thyroid adenoma from other conditions that cause neck swelling.[17]

Disease Findings
Multinodular goiter Multinodular goiter is the multinodular enlargement of the thyroid gland. They are large nodules of more than 1 cm that produces symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Grave's disease Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. It frequently results in hyperthyroidism and an enlarged thyroid. Pretibial myxedema and ophthalmopathy are some of the findings of grave's disease.
Hashimoto's disease Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is attacked by a variety of cell-mediated and antibody-mediated immune processes, causing primary hypothyroidism.
Medullary thyroid carcinoma Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a form of thyroid carcinoma which originates from the parafollicular cells (C cells), which produce the hormone calcitonin.
Thyroid lymphoma Thyroid lymphoma is a rare malignant tumor which manifests as rapidly enlarging neck mass causing respiratory difficulty.
De Quervain's thyroiditis De Quervain's thyroiditis is a subacute granulomatous thyroiditis preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection.
Acute suppurative thyroiditis Acute suppurative thyroiditis is an uncommon thyroid disorder usually caused by bacterial infection.


Thyroid adenoma must be differentiated from other causes of hyperthyroidism such as Grave's disease and toxic nodular goiter.


Cause of thyrotoxicosis TSH receptor antibodies Thyroid US Color flow Doppler Radioactive iodine uptake/Scan Other features
Graves' disease + Hypoechoic pattern ? ? Ophthalmopathy, dermopathy, acropachy
Toxic nodular goiter - Multiple nodules - Hot nodules at thyroid scan -
Toxic adenoma - Single nodule - Hot nodule -
Subacute thyroiditis - Heterogeneous hypoechoic areas Reduced/absent flow ? Neck pain, fever, and
elevated inflammatory index
Painless thyroiditis - Hypoechoic pattern Reduced/absent flow ? -
Amiodarone induced thyroiditis-Type 1 - Diffuse or nodular goiter ?/Normal/? ? but higher than in Type 2 High urinary iodine
Amiodarone induced thyroiditis-Type 2 - Normal Absent ?/absent High urinary iodine
Central hyperthyroidism - Diffuse or nodular goiter Normal/? ? Inappropriately normal or high TSH
Trophoblastic disease - Diffuse or nodular goiter Normal/? ? -
Factitious thyrotoxicosis - Variable Reduced/absent flow ? ? Serum thyroglobulin
Struma ovarii - Variable Reduced/absent flow ? Abdominal RAIU


Disease Findings
Thyroiditis Direct chemical toxicity with inflammation Amiodarone, sunitinib, pazopanib, axitinib, and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors may also be associated with a destructive thyroiditis.[18][19]
Radiation thyroiditis Patients treated with radioiodine may develop thyroid pain and tenderness 5 to 10 days later, due to radiation-induced injury and necrosis of thyroid follicular cells and associated inflammation.
Drugs that interfere with the immune system Interferon-alfa is a well-known cause of thyroid abnormality. It mostly leads to the development of de novo antithyroid antibodies.[20]
Lithium Patients treated with lithium are at a high risk of developing painless thyroiditis and Graves' disease.
Palpation thyroiditis Manipulation of the thyroid gland during thyroid biopsy or neck surgery and vigorous palpation during the physical examination may cause transient hyperthyroidism.
Exogenous and ectopic hyperthyroidism Factitious ingestion of thyroid hormone The diagnosis is based on the clinical features, laboratory findings, and 24-hour radioiodine uptake.[21]
Acute hyperthyroidism from a levothyroxine overdose The diagnosis is based on the clinical features, laboratory findings, and 24-hour radioiodine uptake.[22]
Struma ovarii Functioning thyroid tissue is present in an ovarian neoplasm.
Functional thyroid cancer metastases Large bony metastases from widely metastatic follicular thyroid cancer cause symptomatic hyperthyroidism.
Hashitoxicosis It is an autoimmune thyroid disease that initially presents with hyperthyroidism and a high radioiodine uptake caused by TSH-receptor antibodies similar to Graves' disease. It is then followed by the development of hypothyroidism due to the infiltration of the thyroid gland with lymphocytes and the resultant autoimmune-mediated destruction of thyroid tissue, similar to chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.[23]
Toxic adenoma and toxic multinodular goiter Toxic adenoma and toxic multinodular goiter are results of focal/diffuse hyperplasia of thyroid follicular cells independent of TSH regulation. Findings of single or multiple nodules are seen on physical examination or thyroid scan.[24]
Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism It is uncommon but can develop after an iodine load, such as administration of contrast agents used for angiography or computed tomography (CT), or iodine-rich drugs such as amiodarone.
Trophoblastic disease and germ cell tumors Thyroid-stimulating hormone and HCG have a common alpha-subunit and a beta-subunit with considerable homology. As a result, HCG has weak thyroid-stimulating activity and high titer HCG may mimic hyperthyroidism.[25]
