Vatican officials said that Pope Francis had developed pneumonia in both lungs, further complicating the pontiff’s recovery
Pope Francis has been diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs, complicating his recovery from bronchitis. At 88 years old, the condition is particularly concerning, though he is currently in fair condition, not bed-bound, and in good spirits. His treatment includes antibiotics, steroids, oxygen, and physiotherapy. Recovery could take one to two weeks, but it may be longer due to his age.
