The World Health Organization (WHO) is investigating the death of a young worker at a Russian laboratory that studies plague and other severe diseases. Initial unconfirmed reports suggest pneumonic plague, a serious but treatable pneumonia-like illness. Russian health officials conducted over 5,500 tests with no evidence of dangerous pathogens. WHO calls for further clinical and epidemiological data to confirm the diagnosis and improve assessment confidence.
