Overview
- The palace announced Thursday that Princess Bajrakitiyabha’s health has deteriorated after doctors found a colon inflammation that spread into the abdominal cavity.
- Officials said the infection is now affecting multiple organs and has produced low blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms and a blood-clotting disorder.
- She remains unconscious and on life-support at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and is receiving antibiotics, organ-support therapies and close monitoring by her medical team.
- Princess Bajrakitiyabha has been in a coma since collapsing during dog training in December 2022 and has faced repeated infections and intensive treatment since then.
- Her condition has prompted public prayer and concern and could sharpen attention on royal succession because she is a prominent, high-profile member of the king’s inner circle.
