Pope Francis

According to the Vatican, Pope Francis is suffering from a "complex" clinical condition. Tests have shown a "polymicrobial infection of the respiratory tract." By this, doctors mean that bacterial communities, which are difficult to treat, have developed in the lungs.

Change in treatment, longer hospital stay

The diagnosis led to a new change in treatment, the Vatican explained. The 88-year-old, who was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on Friday with bronchitis, must remain in hospital. His treatment had to be modified already on Saturday.

No timeline was given for his hospitalization, but the complexity of his symptoms "will require an appropriate stay in the hospital." Doctors ordered him to rest completely. The pope has been suffering from breathing problems and a cough for weeks.

After a "quiet night"

The pope's general audience on Wednesday was canceled. The Vatican declined to comment on the pneumonia or a general deterioration in his condition. The pope was in good spirits, spokesman Matteo Bruni told reporters in the Vatican press room.

Bruni had previously reported that Francis had slept well and had a restful night. As on Sunday, the Pope had breakfast and read some newspapers. Medical treatments will continue.

The second oldest pope in history

Francis is missing part of his right lung from surgery at a young age. At 88, he is the second-oldest pope in history. The successor to Benedict XVI, he has held the office since March 2013.

It had been clear for some time that his health was deteriorating. His voice broke several times during public appearances. He has hardly left his Vatican residence. This is Francis' fourth hospitalization since his election as head of the global Catholic community. Francis is the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide.
