Mirtha Legrand Says She Will Return to TV Next Week After Severe Bronchitis

The 99-year-old host reports strong recovery under an 18 to 20 day care plan after a bout of bronchitis.

Overview

  • Ángel de Brito read her WhatsApp message on Friday on LAM, where Legrand called it a very strong bronchitis treated with many antibiotics and said she is almost fully recovered and will resume her program next week.
  • Her granddaughter Juana Viale remains the stand‑in on El Trece for a third straight weekend, keeping the Saturday and Sunday shows on air during Legrand’s rest.
  • Daughter Marcela Tinayre said doctors advised about 18 to 20 days of careful recovery, noted Legrand has stopped antibiotics, and added the family visits daily as she focuses on preventive care.
  • Legrand linked the illness to heavy air conditioning during a mid‑April outing to see the play Rocky, which she said harmed her airways.
  • Most outlets report only that she returns next week, while Crónica names Saturday, May 9 as her comeback date, which others have not confirmed.
