Sonia Gandhi Discharged After Treatment for Systemic Infection

The 79-year-old will continue treatment at home after a week on antibiotics.

Overview

  • Sonia Gandhi left Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi on Tuesday morning after seven days of care.
  • She was admitted late March 24 with fever and was diagnosed with a systemic infection that affects the bloodstream.
  • Hospital chair Dr Ajay Swaroop said senior specialists treated her with antibiotics and reported a good response.
  • The hospital stay prompted quick political changes as Rahul Gandhi canceled a March 25 Kerala visit and Mallikarjun Kharge stepped in.
  • This was her second hospital visit this year, following a January check for respiratory discomfort and earlier stays last year for stomach issues.
