A Torrance County woman is in critical condition with plague.

The state Department of Health did not release the 58-year-old woman's name but says she developed bubonic plague, which progressed to plague pneumonia.

It's the second case of plague confirmed in the state this year. A San Juan County man was infected with plague in April. He recovered.

The Health Department is investigating the woman's home to determine if there's a risk to other people.
