Plague mortality rate

Vaccines need to be developed against diseases with high mortality rates, such as AIDS, pneumonic plague, acute respiratory infections, diarrhea, and parasitic diseases such as malaria. 

Plague is a nationally notifiable disease and represents a potential public bealtb emergency due to the extreme infectivity of Y. pestis as well as mortality rates associated with plague. Local and state health departments should be notified if the presence of plague is suspected or confirmed. 

Adults rarely suffer from protein deficiency diseases unless there is an impairment in the intestinal tract, but in countries plagued by insufficient food children will develop protein deficiency diseases that lead to very high mortality rates. 

Obstacles remained as PTCA was not universally available and often associated with considerable time delay, especially in off peak hours. In the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction-2 (NRMI-2 >27,000 patients), total ischemia time (symptom onset to balloon inflation) was 3.9 h with onset to hospital arrival 1.6 h [45]. Unadjusted in-hospital mortality was higher in patients treated later. Door to balloon time > 2 h was related to in-hospital death (41-62% adjusted odds increase) and centers who treat >3 STEMIs/month had improved in-hospital mortality compared to less experienced facilities (Figs. 5.4 and 5.5). Lastly, similar to trials of unstable angina, PTCA was plagued by high restenosis rates...
