The primary endpoint of the trial is to assess the proportion of patients with bubonic plague who have a therapeutic response to treatment (defined as alive, resolution of fever, 25% reduction in the size of measurable buboes, has not received an alternative treatment and no clinical decision to continue antibiotics) as assessed on day 11. The secondary objective is to collect data on the effectiveness of ciprofloxacin in the treatment of pneumonic plague, although the trial is not able to formally assess the non-inferiority of ciprofloxacin monotherapy compared to streptomycin and ciprofloxacin combination therapy in pneumonic plague, Considering the operational and practical complexities of a plague RCT, the study also has additional exploratory objectives to optimize investments: to evaluate the level and kinetics of anti-Y. ./cache/cord-030531-4uucx9ss.txt ./txt/cord-030531-4uucx9ss.txt
