Bolsonaro Remains in ICU With Bilateral Pneumonia as Kidney Function Improves, Antibiotics Expanded

He remains under 24-hour police guard at the hospital with restricted family visits authorized by the Supreme Court.

Overview

  • Doctors confirmed bilateral bacterial broncopneumonia of probable aspirative origin and are treating him with intravenous antibiotics and non‑invasive clinical support.
  • The March 15 bulletin reports clinical stability and improved renal function compared with Saturday’s deterioration, but higher inflammatory markers led physicians to broaden antibiotic coverage with no discharge forecast.
  • He continues in intensive care receiving hydration, respiratory and motor physiotherapy, and measures to prevent venous thrombosis, and he is conscious without need for intubation according to prior updates.
  • He was moved from the 19th Military Police Battalion facility after high fever, oxygen desaturation, chills and vomiting, and was transported to DF Star Hospital by emergency services.
  • Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorized Michelle Bolsonaro to accompany him and limited visits by close relatives, ordered round‑the‑clock police supervision and banned electronic devices in the room, while earlier defense requests for humanitarian home custody were denied.
