Pele To Stay In Hospital Due To Urinary Tract Infection
Brazilian football great Pele will remain hospitalised for a urinary tract infection in a Sao Paulo hospital, where he was already receiving chemotherapy for a colon tumor, the facility said Monday. The 81-year-old ex-player known as "O Rei" (The King) was initially admitted to the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo on February 13 to continue his treatment for a colon tumor detected in September. He has remained hospitalized since then. Eight days after being admitted, the hospital said it had detected a urinary tract infection during routine exams, which would extend Pele's stay.
