ROME — The Vatican announced Monday afternoon Pope Francis’ hospital stay would be extended for an indefinite period of time, citing a “complex” clinical condition due to an infection of the respiratory tract.
The results of the investigations carried out in past days have shown a “polymicrobial infection of the respiratory tract” that has led to a “further modification of therapy,” the Vatican Press Office said in a statement.
“All the investigations carried out to date indicate a complex clinical condition that will require an adequate hospital stay,” it added.
As Breitbart News reported, last Friday the pope was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Polyclinic Hospital to be treated for persistent bronchitis in a proper medical environment, where he could also undergo some “necessary diagnostic tests.”
Doctors have advised Francis to observe “total rest”…
