Pope Francis's pneumonia is under
control, but not eliminated, the Vatican said Wednesday.
The bilateral pneumonia the pope is suffering from is currently
"under control", but it cannot be said that it has been
eliminated.
As is the other infection he is suffering from, the
polymicrobial one, the Vatican Press Office reported on the 34th
day of the Pontiff's hospitalization at the Policlinico Agostino
Gemelli Hospital in Rome.
It is emphasized that the clinical tests, such as those of the
blood, are normal and stable and that the Pope remains
fever-free.
And the suspension of non-invasive mechanical ventilation during
the night is also considered a positive aspect.
Among the encouraging elements, the fact that there is no
leukocytosis, that is, an abnormal growth of white blood cells.
Given the situation, a new medical bulletin should not be
released before next week.
