According to the medical report published on Thursday (February 7th), the president had an episode of fever isolated yesterday, without any other badociated symptoms. He was subjected to a CT scan of the chest and abdomen, revealing a good evolution of the intestinal tract, but also an image compatible with pneumonia.
According to spokesman Otávio do Rêgo Barros, the state of health of the president was expected, given the thermal spike that hit him last night – he reached about 38 ° C. "The lungs had an image consistent with pneumonia. "
The medical report published today indicates that an adjustment has been made to antibiotic therapy and that the remaining treatments have been maintained. "He continues painlessly, with a nasogastric tube, a leak in the abdomen and receiving oral fluids in combination with parenteral nutrition." The president also performed breathing exercises and walked in the hospital corridor, but visits remain limited on medical order.
To suppress pneumonia, which would have a bacterial rather than viral cause, doctors chose to add a new drug, broad-spectrum antibiotic.
Bolsonaro has been hospitalized since January 28, when he was operated on to remove a bag of colostomy and restore the link between the small intestine and part of the large intestine. Today, Plbadto Palace has also released an image of the president walking into the hospital with the nasogastric tube and making a positive sign.
