bubo-, bubon- +

(Greek > Latin: groin, swollen gland)

antibubonic
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.

axillary bubo (s) (noun), axillary buboes (pl)
An inflamed swelling of lymph nodes in the areas of the armpits, neck, and other bodily parts: Dr. Roberts told Tony's cousin that his axillary bubo, or painfully enlarged lymph nodes, was probably a result of bubonic plague that is usually transmitted by the bite of fleas, probably from an infected rat, during his travels in Africa.
bubo (s), buboes (pl)
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".

bubonadenitis
Inflammation of an inguinal gland.
bubonic
Characterized by or referring to buboes.
bubonic plague (s) (noun), bubonic plagues (pl)
A highly contagious illness typically accompanied by fever, chills, headaches, and swollen lymph nodes, transmitted by the bite of rodents and fleas: The doctor warned the community to be cautious around rats as there were several cases of bubonic plague reported in the countryside.

Bubonic plague usually starts one to five days after infection with a fever, shivering, and a severe headache.

Sometimes, septicemia (blood poisoning) is an early complication and it may cause death before other signs of the disease appear.

The plague may have three clinical forms: bubonic, pneumonic (pneumonia), or septicemic (blood poisoning). The misleading use of the word bubonic (which means that it is characterized by buboes, or inflammatory swellings of lymph nodes) has developed into the mistaken idea that the real plague is necessarily bubonic and that non-bubonic types are a different disease altogether.

The mild forms of plague infections are bubonic while the other forms are severe and almost always fatal, unless properly treated; and the bubonic plague consists of about three-fourths of the total kinds of plague cases.
