Rome:
Pope Francis, four days ago hospitalized for bronchitis, faced a “complex clinical photo”, Vatican said on Monday, showing that the 88 -year -old migration is initially considered.
After the cancellation of the incidents by Monday, the Vatican said that the Pope’s weekly Wednesday audience would not proceed.
“The results of the tests conducted in recent times have demonstrated a polymicrobial infection of the respiratory tract today, which has further changed treatment,” the Vatican said in a statement.
“All tests conducted so far are signs of a complex clinical picture that will require adequate hospitalization.”
A Vatican source told AFP that the Pope was receiving oxygen.
A separate source in the Pope’s entry had earlier stressed that there was no “alarmism” after entering the Jamelli Hospital in Rome on Friday.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni told reporters that the new health update was published on Monday that he was in “Good Humor”.
But Vikas will raise new concerns about Argentina Pontif, which has faced an increase in health issues in recent years.
‘Weak’
Before his entry, after his normal Friday morning meetings, Francis had accepted the difficulty in breathing and asked colleagues several times to read his speeches on his behalf.
Last Wednesday in his weekly general audience, he said that he can read “yet”, linking with a smile: “I hope I can do next time I can.”
A source within the Pope’s entry told AFP on Monday that Francis was “very busy” after two weeks, during which “he weakened”.
But the source said: “There is no alarmism.”
Earlier, Bruni said that Francis had passed a third “peaceful” night in the hospital and had breakfast on Monday morning and read newspapers.
Pontif, who had part of one of his lungs removed as a young man, has been plagued with health issues, but a very busy program continues to maintain.
He was taken out of a Good Friday event last year, which Vatican called “Light Flu” after catching, but led the Easter services according to the plan.
A year ago, in March 2023, Francis was hospitalized for three nights with bronchitis, which was cured with antibiotics.
Another bout of bronchitis canceled him to Dubai’s visit to Dubai to attend the United Nations COP28 Climate Change Conference.
The Pope also performed a hernia operation in June 2023 and performed surgery for a type of diverticulitis in 2021, which is an inflammation of pockets developed in the lining of the intestine.
He has been using wheelchairs since 2022 due to continuous knee pain and uses a sugarcane during rare moments.
Francis has also fallen one or two times in the last few months, rejecting his forearm in January and in December, playing a big injury on his right jaw, hitting his bed.
Nevertheless, despite his health troubles, Francis remains an active Pontiff.
In September 2024, he completed a four-nation Asia-Pacific tour, which was the longest of his sinner from the period and distance.
