Isabel Veloso Re-Intubated in ICU After Severe Pneumonia, Family Says

Her recent bone-marrow transplant increases infection risk during intensive care.

Overview

  • Veloso, 19, was returned to intensive care in Curitiba on Dec. 3 after clinicians noted increased respiratory effort, according to her husband.
  • She was re-intubated overnight following a diagnosis of severe pneumonia and remains on mechanical ventilation under continuous observation.
  • Her husband, Lucas Borbas, reported that she is stable and well assisted, while her father said she is unconscious and experienced pulmonary bleeding.
  • Medical teams ordered tests to guide treatment and have not given a prognosis or timeline for hospital discharge.
  • Veloso has Hodgkin lymphoma and recently underwent a bone-marrow transplant, a factor that heightens the danger of serious infections like pneumonia.
