The Holy See has sent a new note with an update on the health of Pope Francis. In this latest communication, it is emphasized that "the clinical condition of the Holy Father continues to present a complex picture".
The latest medical tests on the pontiff have confirmed the "polymicrobial infection, arising on a background of bronchiectasis and asthmatic bronchitis" and the Pope continues with antibiotic treatment with cortisone, "which makes the therapeutic treatment more complex".
Likewise, the Holy See Press Office emphasizes in this communiqué, "the control thoracic CAT scan that the Holy Father underwent this afternoon revealed the appearance of a bilateral pneumonia that required further pharmacological treatment".
This complex medical condition has led to the total cancellation of the papal agenda for the next few days and all the faithful await news about the health of the pontiff who, in spite of everything, the note emphasizes "is in good spirits" and continues to ask for, and to thank, prayers for him.
