Lucía de la Cruz Says She Is Recovering After Emergency Infection, Now in Intermediate Care

Doctors are running tests at Hospital María Auxiliadora to target the infection.

Overview

  • The Peruvian singer, admitted Wednesday to Hospital María Auxiliadora, has been moved from the trauma-shock area to an intermediate-care unit with ongoing monitoring.
  • Speaking Saturday to local media, she said her blood sugar was over 400 and that she is being treated for a urinary tract infection while cultures guide antibiotics.
  • The hospital’s official note said she entered through emergency at 9:40 a.m. and was kept under permanent multidisciplinary monitoring, with costs covered by the public SIS program.
  • Relatives and her manager refuted early reports of a stroke or coma, and they asked for prudence while physicians update findings.
