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.

Fuckin House M.D. patient of the week ass person

How is someone this unhealthy not dead? His whole immune system is just masochistic trying to suffer as much as possible. White blood cells with a torture kink.

It's some kind of curse he's acquired. Immortality at the cost of never-ending hospitalization

He’s already part man part machine from all of his prior stints in the hospital. You’d need a biological virus and computer virus to hit him simultaneously to take him down.

At this point, there needs to be medical research done on this man.

I didn't even know skin could get infected. How the hell do you catch something like that?

Can't a bird just finish the job? I feel like it doesn't have to be an emu anymore. Just like a very determined seagull could do it. Or a very angry parakeet.

A man who's very bodily tissues seem to have a concept of sacrifice for the greater good

Erysipelas is a bacterial skin infection involving the upper dermis that characteristically extends into the superficial cutaneous lymphatics. It is a tender, intensely erythematous, indurated plaque with a sharply demarcated border. Its well-defined margin can help differentiate it from other skin infections (eg, cellulitis). [1] See the image below. (See Clinical Presentation.)

Erysipelas has been traced back to the Middle Ages, where it was referred to as St. Anthony's fire, named after the Christian saint to whom those afflicted would appeal for healing. Around 1095, the Order of St. Anthony, a Roman Catholic congregation, was formed in France to care for those with the ailment. At the time, several diseases were likely grouped under this eponym, including ergotism and herpes zoster (shingles).

Historically, erysipelas occurred on the face, but cases today most often involve the legs. The group A streptococcal bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes causes most of the facial infections; although it can also cause erysipelas on the legs, an increasing percentage of lower extremity infections are now being caused by non–group A streptococci.
