Gemelli Hospital in Rome with bronchitis last Friday. Successive diagnostic tests found that he had developed pneumonia in both lungs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He also has a polymicrobial infection, which means that he has a mix of microbes, like a virus or bacteria, in his lungs or another part of his respiratory tract. The infection required the use of cortisone antibiotic therapy, the Vatican said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His overall health continued to be complex, the Vatican said on Tuesday evening, but it added that the pope was in \u201cgood spirits,\u201d praying, reading and resting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In recent years, Francis\u2019 health has been cause for concern, and this is his fourth stay at Policlinico A. Gemelli Hospital. In 2021, he had <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/07\/04\/world\/europe\/pope-francis-surgery.html\" title=\"\">colon surgery<\/a> there. In 2023, he was admitted for a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/03\/29\/world\/europe\/pope-francis-hospital-tests.html\" title=\"\">respiratory infection<\/a> and went home after three days.

Over the past few months, he has often asked aides to read the remarks on his behalf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Francis has maintained an often exhausting schedule, in particular since the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/24\/world\/europe\/rome-vatican-jubilee-tourism.html\" title=\"\">Roman Catholic Church\u2019s 2025 Jubilee<\/a> \u2014 a year of faith, penance and forgiveness of sins that takes place every quarter-century \u2014 began on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">All of his public engagements have been canceled through the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/19\/world\/europe\/pope-francis-health.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope Francis, who has been diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs, slept well overnight and ate breakfast on Wednesday, the Vatican said, as concerns grew about the health of the 88-year-old pontiff.
