Erika Januza Leaves Hospital After Kidney Infection Treatment

Overview

• The actress, 40, was admitted Tuesday, April 14, in Rio de Janeiro for a kidney infection and was released Friday after three days of care.
• She said she first mistook sharp back pain for a spine issue before doctors found a bacterial urinary infection that had reached a kidney.
• Januza told followers she will pause scenes for the Globo novela A Nobreza do Amor during recovery under medical guidance.
• Her partner, samba singer Arlindinho, canceled a Thursday show in São Paulo to stay with her and later marked her release in a social post.
• In messages reported by G1 and Terra, she urged people to drink water and not hold urine because untreated urinary infections can move up to the kidneys.
