      Do you mean that you suspect his case of plague started as pneumonia? Because that’s possible. Or do you mean that plague generally starts as pneumonia? Because that’s wrong. If the disease hits your lungs you get pneumonic plague, if it hits your lymph nodes you get bubonic plague and if it starts growing in the blood you get septicemic plague. You can have overlaps and you can get only one of them.
