JERUSALEM — The hospital treating former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Wednesday that he was in stable condition two days after being put on antibiotics for double pneumonia.
Sharon, 78, has been in a coma since suffering a massive stroke Jan. 4. He has since undergone several extensive operations to stop cerebral hemorrhaging, in addition to some relatively minor procedures.
Tel Aviv’s Chaim Sheba Medical Center said Monday that new tests had revealed deterioration in Sharon’s brain function and infection in both lungs. Doctors were treating him with broad-spectrum antibiotics and steroids, the hospital said.
