What did the CT scan reveal about Pope Francis and how did it affect his treatment?
The CT scan revealed that Pope Francis has developed bilateral pneumonia, also known as double pneumonia, which is an infection affecting both lungs. This diagnosis represents a complication from his previous bronchitis hospitalization, requiring a significant change to his treatment plan. Following these scan results, the Vatican announced that the Pope's medical care was being modified to include additional drug therapy specifically targeted to address the bilateral nature of his infection. This adjustment was deemed necessary due to the more serious nature of double pneumonia, especially concerning for elderly patients like Pope Francis.
