Pope Francis, at 88 years old, is hospitalized with a complex lung infection, pneumonia, and a condition related to anemia. Despite undergoing blood transfusions and other treatments, his prognosis remains uncertain. Doctors emphasize the risk of sepsis, a serious complication that could arise from his pneumonia. The Vatican continues its Holy Year celebrations in the Pope's absence, while his physician describes his condition as fragile and precarious. Prior to hospitalization, Francis showed resilience, choosing to work through illness despite warnings from his medical team.
He is not out of danger," said his personal physician, Dr Luigi Carbone. "So like all fragile patients I say they are always on the golden scale: In other words, it takes very little to become unbalanced."
