Lucía de la Cruz Improves, Transferred to Intermediate Care After Severe Infection

Doctors await culture results to target treatment.

Overview

  • The Peruvian criollo singer, who was rushed to Hospital María Auxiliadora on Wednesday, is now in intermediate care under constant monitoring.
  • Her family and manager rejected social media claims of a stroke, saying an acute infection tied to chronic diabetes caused high fever and unstable blood pressure.
  • She is conscious and speaking with relatives, and she told Magaly TV she arrived with very high blood sugar and a strong urinary infection.
  • Doctors are waiting on lab cultures to identify the bacteria and adjust her antibiotics.
  • The tribute concert Juntos por Lucía, set for Thursday at Lima’s Círculo Militar, will proceed without her and will feature Bartola, Deyvis Orosco, and Marco Romero.
