    How to use "Suppuration" in context?

    Suppuration, or bubonic plague, is a severe and often deadly bacterial infection. The disease is caused by the bacteria Pasteurella pestis, which is often spread through fleas. It most commonly affects the homeless and the poor, as they are more likely to become infected through contact with rodents. Symptoms of suppuration include fever, neck stiffness, and a red, swollen rash. In serious cases, the infected person may develop Pellegra, a rare form of encephalitis that can lead to death. Suppuration is preventable through proper hygiene and by using effective plague vaccines.
