STORYLINE
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who has been in a coma for more than seven months, suffered a further deterioration in his health on Monday, according to the hospital where he is being treated.
A new brain scan showed a worsening in his brain function, his urine output has decreased significantly and a chest scan showed that he had a new infection in his lungs, a spokeswoman for the Chaim Sheba Medical Center said.
Dolev wouldn't say whether Sharon's life was in danger, but said that doctors were treating him with broad-spectrum antibiotics and steroids.
Sharon, 78, has been in a coma since suffering a massive stroke on January 4. He underwent several extensive brain surgeries to stop cerebral haemorrhaging in addition to other, more minor procedures.
After spending months in the Jerusalem hospital where he was initially treated, Sharon was transferred to the long-term care facility at Sheba hospital in May.
