-'''Septicemic''' (or '''septicaemic''') '''plague''' is a deadly blood infection by [[yersinia pestis]], a [[gram-negative]] [[bacterium]].
-==Pathophysiology==
-The disease can result from [[Bubonic plague|bubonic]] and [[Pneumonic plague|pneumonic]] plague when bacteria enter the blood from the lymphatic and respiratory systems, respectively. Like other forms of gram-negative [[sepsis]], septicemic plague can cause [[disseminated intravascular coagulation]] (DIC), and is frequently fatal.
