ROME – Pope Francis has been diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs, according to a statement released Tuesday evening by the Holy SEE Press Office.
The clergy underwent a chest CT scan on Tuesday, revealing that he had “developed bilateral pneumonia.”
The series of clinical tests and chest x-rays combined with the Pope's clinical status “continue to present complex pictures,” the Vatican says. In 1957, at the age of 21, the future Pope underwent lung surgery, during which part of his right lung was removed due to a severe pulmonary infection.
In March 2023, Francis was hospitalized for bronchitis and was treated with antibiotics. Later that year, he again experienced lung inflammation, but continued his duties.
According to a recent Vatican statement, the Pope's multimicrobial infections that arise in the framework of “bronchectasis and asthma bronchitis” and require the use of antibiotic cortisone therapy create a situation where therapeutic treatment is more complicated. Ta.
Nevertheless, “Pope Francis feels good,” the statement said.
“He is grateful for the intimacy he feels in this moment and asks with gratitude that we continue to pray for him,” he concludes.
The Vatican announced the cancellation of Pope Jubilee's audience on Saturday, February 22nd, suggesting that Francis' hospitalization would last for more than a week.
As reported by Breitbart News, the Pope was recognized last Friday at Gemelli Polyclinic Hospital in Rome, where he was treated for sustained bronchitis in an appropriate medical setting and also had the “necessary diagnostic tests” .
Historically, like the Soviets, the Vatican official report on the health of the Pope leaderthere is a slightly cage.
As well-known Catholic news site In 2023, “We rarely get honest announcements from the sacred press conference, let alone real-time updates on Francis' health.”
The site provided a tongue-like suggestion that the Vatican announcement on Pope's health would look like “the Pope is in full health.” “The Pope is currently heliski.” “The Pope has a mild cold.” “The Pope is planning to complete the Ironman Triathlon next month.” “The Pope passed away two weeks ago.”
This is true, and the Vatican's daily real-time updates, the latest information on Pope Francis' health seemed refreshingly straightforward.
