WASHINGTON: Former US President Bill Clinton will spend the night again in a hospital in California who was treated for infection, the spokesman said Saturday.
Clinton, 75, who led the United States from 1993 to 2001, was received on Tuesday night to the UCI medical center at Irvine, South Los Angeles, with a blood infection related to non-covid.
Angel Urena’s spokesman said on Twitter that Clinton would remain in the hospital overnight “to continue to receive IV antibiotics before the expected discharge tomorrow.” Clinton is “in a great spirit and has spent time with family, catch up with friends, and watch college football,” Urena tweeted.
The New York Times, quoted Aide, reported the former president developing urinary tract infections that turned into sepsis.
Sepsis is an extreme body reaction to infections that affect 1.7 million people in America every year, according to the control centers and prevention of disease.
It kills 270,000 of those infected every year.
Infection is the latest health fear for the 42nd American president.
In 2004, at the age of 58, he underwent a quadruple bypass surgery after the doctor found signs of extensive heart disease.
Six years later he had a stent implanted in his coronary artery.
