Washington:
Former US President Bill Clinton will invest yet another evening at a hospital in California becoming treated for an infection, his spokesman mentioned Saturday.
Clinton, 75, who led the United States from 1993 to 2001, was admitted Tuesday evening to the UCI Medical Center in Irvine, south of Los Angeles, with a non-Covid-connected blood infection.
Spokesman Angel Urena mentioned on Twitter that Clinton will stay at the hospital overnight “to continue to receive IV antibiotics before an expected discharge tomorrow.”
Clinton is “in great spirits and has been spending time with family, catching up with friends, and watching college football,” Urena tweeted.
The New York Times, quoting an aide, reported the former president created a urinary tract infection that turned into sepsis.
Sepsis is an intense bodily reaction to infection that impacts 1.7 million folks in America every single year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It kills 270,000 of these infected every single year.
The infection was the most recent overall health scare for America’s 42nd president. In 2004, at age 58, he underwent a quadruple bypass operation immediately after physicians discovered indicators of comprehensive heart illness.
Six years later he had stents implanted in his coronary artery.
