bubo-, bubon- +

Good or used against bubonic plague; such as, antibubonic serum, obtained from immunized horses.

Antibubonic vaccine, a sterilized bouillon culture of the plague bacillus; antibubonic measures.

A bubo in the armpit: "An axillary bubo is an inflamed swelling of a lymph node in the area of the armpit which is characteristic of certain infections; such as, bubonic plague and syphilis."

An enlarged lymph node ("swollen gland") that is tender and painful, particularly in the groin and armpit (the axilla).

A feature of a number of infectious diseases including gonorrhea, syphilis, tuberculosis, and the plague; hence, the bubonic plague. The odd word bubo comes from the Greek boubon; meaning, "groin" or "swollen groin".

Inflammation of an inguinal gland.

Characterized by or referring to buboes.

The most common form of plague, typically characterized by an abrupt onset of fever, chills, weakness, and headache, followed by pain, tenderness, and lymphadenopathy (buboes) of the regional lymph nodes.

Most often the inguinal (relating to or near the groin), femoral (near the femur or thigh), axillary (relating to the armpit), and cervical (neck including the neck on which the head is perched and the neck of the uterus) nodes, associated with a marked hemorrhagic tendency and the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation and necrotic purpura and extensive symmetrical gangrene (which may have led to the epithet “black death”).

Hematogenous dissemination may establish suppurative foci throughout the body. Severe complications include pneumonia and septicemia (organisms in the blood).

Transmitted in rodents and humans via an infected flea bite. The incubation period is 2-10 days. Yersinia infection is now rare in Western countries. Third world countries (for example India) can have epidemics of Yersinia.

Treatment with antibiotics is necessary or most individuals will die. Even with antibiotic treatment the death rate is estimated to be five percent.

Pain in the groin.

1. An incomplete hernia of the groin accompanied by swelling.
2. An inguinal hernia; especially, one in which the protrusion of the intestine is limited to the region of the groin.
3. A femoral or inguinal hernia; especially, an incomplete variety in which the hernial pouch descends only as far as the groin, forming a swelling there like a bubo.

A fissure or crack in the groin.

A nodule or abscess along a lymphatic vessel; especially, one on the dorsum of the penis.

A bubo in the region of the groin.

The most common form of the plague in humans; characterized by chills, prostration, delirium and the formation of buboes in the armpits and groin; synonym: "bubonic plague".

An inflamed lymph node that represents the initial lesion following exposure to a venereal disease; especially, to syphilis.

An enlarged gland in the groin associated with any venereal disease, especially chancroid.

Chancroid is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacteria haemophilus ducreyi. It causes multiple painful ulcers on the penis and the vulva often associated with tender and enlarged inguinal (groin) lymph nodes.
