Pope May Have Bacterial Pneumonia

From IOL: Pope may have bacterial pneumonia says doctor:

“Ailing Pope John Paul II was rushed to hospital for the second time in a month today and a medical expert suggested he is suffering from bacterial pneumonia — a serious illness in an 84-year-old man.

A Vatican official said John Paul had the same symptoms of the breathing crisis that sent him to Rome’s Gemelli Polyclinic on February 1 but that a medical bulletin would not be released until tomorrow

Medical experts who have not examined the Pope but are familiar with elderly Parkinson’s disease patients said his symptoms appeared to be consistent with pneumonia.”
