Original: US closely monitoring case of lab worker who possibly died of plague in Siberia
US health authorities say they are closely monitoring the case of a laboratory worker in Siberia who is believed to have died of plague. The death reportedly occurred near Irkutsk, and Russian officials have introduced quarantine measures in response. The case has drawn international attention because of the disease's rarity and severity, and because it involves a lab worker who may have been infected on the job.
Why now: A possible plague death involving a lab worker, with quarantine measures in place, raises public health and biosecurity concerns internationally.
