Brazil ex-president Bolsonaro hospitalized again with skin infection

Sun, 5 May 2024

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Sunday he had to be hospitalized again in the northern city of Manaus due to a skin infection caused by a bacteria, adding there is no forecast for when he could be discharged. Bolsonaro said on social media he was hospitalized again with erysipelas, a skin disease which he had in 2022 and again on Saturday, when he was also briefly hospitalized, according to a spokesperson.

Bolsonaro is ineligible for political office until 2030 for spreading electoral misinformation during the 2022 election, when he lost a bid for reelection to leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. He also has been formally accused by police of fraud related to his COVID-19 vaccination records.

  • i have to wonder if his immune system is being strengthened leaps and bounds above us mere mortals.

    For every sickness he catches that doesn’t kill him he just becomes stronger. Eventually when bird flu finally kills us all, only Bolsonaro will remain.
