Washington: Former US President Bill Clinton has been admitted to a hospital in California for a urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream, a spokesman said.
Bill Clinton was admitted to the University of California Irvine Medical Center's intensive care unit on Tuesday.
His spokesman Angel Urena in a statement said, Clinton was admitted owing to an infection but he is “on the mend”.
“He is on the mend, in good spirits and is incredibly thankful to the doctors, nurses, and staff providing him with excellent care,” the statement read.
A second statement from Clinton’s spokesman quoted physicians Dr. Alpesh Amin and Dr. Lisa Bardack, who said the former president has been “administered IV antibiotics and fluids.”
As per doctor in charge, “After two days of treatment, his white blood cell count is trending down and he is responding to antibiotics well”.
“The California-based medical team has been in constant communication with the President’s New York-based medical team, including his cardiologist. We hope to have him go home soon”.
In the years since Clinton left the White House in 2001, the former president faced health scares.
In 2004, former US President underwent quadruple bypass surgery after experiencing prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath.
He returned to the hospital for surgery for a partially collapsed lung in 2005, and in 2010 had a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery.
