Das Kirchenoberhaupt soll an einer polymikrobiellen Atemwegserkrankung leiden. Obwohl Franziskus nun länger im Krankenhaus bleiben muss, habe er gute Laune, sagte sein Sprecher.
Pope Francis is in a more serious condition than initially reported, requiring repeated adjustments to his therapy. He is hospitalized longer than initially expected, though his spokesperson noted he remains in good spirits. His clinical condition is stable, and he spent the day working and reading. Despite reassurances, concerns about his health have grown. His diagnosis involves a complex illness, likely a polymicrobial infection, ranging from bronchitis to severe lung infection. He has been treated with cortisone, which could weaken his immune system, particularly at 88 years old. This marks his fourth hospitalization since 2021. The Vatican spokesperson confirmed the pope’s good spirits, and he is being treated at the Gemelli Clinic in a reserved section.
