The former president () performed tests on Sunday (14) that pointed to anemia for lack of iron and a residue of pneumonia, according to a medical report. In addition, skin lesions were extracted to study and evaluate the need for treatment.
Claudio Birolini, a doctor who follows Bolsonaro’s health, said the former president underwent routine exams. “He is a 70 -year -old man who has undergone several surgical interventions. He is very fragile for this whole situation,” he said, while clustered supporters in front of the hospital sang the national anthem.
Former President’s allies cite health as an argument for him to serve a sentence at home after conviction by the Federal Supreme Court for attempted coup, and, as revealed the Sheethis lawyers if he is forced to serve the sentence in a prison or in a PF (Federal Police) room.
The novelty of the exams, according to the doctor, was the identification of a little anemia, “probably because he fed ill in this last month” – when he was under house arrest for breaking precautionary measures imposed by the Supreme Court. The former president received iron replacement at the hospital to improve this picture.
He also said that the former president’s refluxes have improved a lot, but still persist, and that hypertension is being controlled. “It was just some exams that are done monthly to evaluate the evolution,” he said
Eight skin lesions were removed, so that laboratory tests identify if they are the result of any disease. The medical bulletin does not indicate when the result will come out, but informs that Bolsonaro should continue with the treatment of hypertension, reflux and preventive bronchoaspiration measures.
It was the first time Bolsonaro left house arrest since five crimes in the coup plot.
He was from the Federal District, with the presence of armed men. The former president also had the car inspected by leaving the house in which he fulfills the precautionary measures imposed by the minister,.
