According to the last official statement on the head of state’s health on the Palermo clinic, Fernandez is affected by a “sigmoiditis”, an inflammation by infection of the colon.

The president was hospitalized with a high fever complicated by the presence of bacteria in the blood stream, as detailed by the Presidential Medical Unit. According to medical sources she’ll stay hospitalized at least until Wednesday.

This unexpected medical condition forced Fernandez to cancel a planned visit of her chilean colleague Michelle Bachelet and a conference with Pope Francis.
