Former US President Bill Clinton was hospitalized on Tuesday in California with a suspected blood infection, CNN reported on Thursday.
CNN said Clinton, 75, was in the intensive care unit, primarily to give him privacy, and he was not on a breathing machine, according to doctors treating the former president at University of California Irvine Medical Center, California.
His condition is not related to his previous heart problems or Covid-19, CNN said.
"He is on the mend, in good spirits, and incredibly thankful to the doctors, nurses and staff providing him with excellent care," Clinton spokesman Angel Urena said on Twitter.
Clinton's physicians, Dr. Alpesh Amin and Dr. Lisa Bardack, said in a statement that he was "admitted to the hospital for close monitoring and administered IV antibiotics and fluids."
"He remains at the hospital for continuous monitoring," the doctors' statement added. "After two days of treatment, his white blood cell count is trending down and he is responding to antibiotics well."
