Thailand’s queen in hospital with high fever, lung infection
BANGKOK — The royal palace of Thailand says Queen Sirikit has been hospitalized with fever and lung infection, a month after her husband, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, died.
Friday’s statement says the 84-year-old Sirikit had high fever on Wednesday. She was admitted to Chulalongkorn Hospital and doctors succeeded in bringing down the fever on Thursday, when she was able to “breathe well and eat.”
It says an X-ray revealed a lung infection for which she is being treated with antibiotics.
