Pope Francis, 88, is undergoing treatment for a "complex clinical situation" at Rome's Gemelli hospital, the Vatican updated on Monday. The pontiff, who was admitted on Friday for bronchitis, is now being treated for a polymicrobial infection of his respiratory tract, which has necessitated a change in his treatment plan.

In the days leading up to his hospitalization, the Pope had been experiencing symptoms of the illness and had delegated his duties, including reading prepared speeches at public events. The Vatican noted on Monday that his condition had worsened, prompting doctors to revise his treatment regimen.

According to the Vatican's update, the Pope's infection was identified as polymicrobial, affecting his respiratory system. However, officials reported that the pontiff's condition was stable as of the weekend, and he was advised to undergo "complete rest" to aid his recovery.

As a result of his illness, Pope Francis was unable to fulfill several important duties over the weekend, including delivering his usual Sunday prayer at St. Peter's Square and leading a special mass for artists to celebrate the Catholic Church's Jubilee Year.

The Vatican has emphasized that the Pope will remain in the hospital for as long as necessary to ensure his health is properly managed.
