Leukemia and pneumonia, where the disease that struck Berlusconi comes from

In and out of his private hospital room, at the San Raffaele in Milan, for checkups, exams and maybe even more. For Silvio Berlusconi the hospitalization of last April 5, motivated by “respiratory problems” represents the new and delicate act of a path of diagnosis and treatment that began well before. Considering his status as a seriously cardiopathic patient, the chronic myelomonocytic leukemia that struck him led to pneumonia with debilitating symptoms, so much so that he required hospitalization in intensive care and chemotherapy treatment, the first, always carried out on 5 April.
