The Pope changed treatment.
The new results of the tests in connection with the respiratory infection of Pope Francis forced doctors to change his pharmacological treatment, the Vatican said on Monday. According to him, the Pope will remain in the hospital for as long as necessary. TASR writes about this based on Reuters and AP reports.
“The results of the tests performed in recent days and today have shown a polymicrobial respiratory infection, which has led to further treatment treatment,” the official statement said.
“All tests performed so far point to a comprehensive clinical picture that will require adequate stay in the hospital,” Vatican added.
Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See Press Office, said the Pope remains in a good mood. “Thank you for affection, prayer and proximity that you accompany me these days,” Pope Francis wrote on Sunday on Social Network X.
The eighty -eight -year -old Pope, who has removed part of one lung in his youth, suffer from a respiratory disease for more than a week. After his hospitalization Friday in the Roman hospital Gemelli, doctors officially confirmed the airway infection.
