What Guillermo Lobo Reported About Mirtha Legrand’s Health
During his telephone appearance on TN, Guillermo Lobo explained that Mirtha is in intensive care and that the diagnosis they are currently considering is pneumonia.
“She is in care in the ICU,” the journalist stated.
According to him, Mirtha “had a rough night last night and she herself requested hospitalization.” Lobo also clarified that the stay in intensive care aims to allow the presenter to be calmer and to enjoy greater privacy.
“She is in intensive care, but for being more at ease, she has pneumonia,” he stated.
The journalist also emphasized that the evolution is dynamic and that the state of health of the presenter is monitored hour by hour. In this regard, he pointed to an initial positive sign: “This is hour by hour, but the latest hour showed a slight improvement.”
Mirtha Had Been Readmitted This Friday
The new hospitalization occurred this Friday, September 18, after Mirtha had been discharged last Sunday following a week-long stay for a respiratory illness. On that occasion, she had completed an antibiotic course and continued her recovery at home.
This Friday, faced with renewed discomfort, she returned to the Sanatorio Mater Dei. The official medical report stated that she presented a “condition compatible with pneumonia” and that she would remain hospitalized to undergo tests, receive treatment, and undergo follow-up checks.
The information now provided by Guillermo Lobo specifies that the condition is pneumonia. To date, the latest official bulletin released by the sanatorium did not explicitly include that diagnosis.
The situation continues to be monitored hour by hour, and an update on the presenter’s condition is expected in the coming hours.
