Pope Francis' blood tests show 'slight improvement': Vatican

Pope Francis has "stable" conditions, with his blood tests showing a "slight improvement," the Vatican said Wednesday, as the 88-year-old pontiff undergoes ongoing treatment for bronchitis in both lungs.

"The clinical conditions of the Holy Father are stable. The blood tests, evaluated by the medical staff, show a slight improvement, particularly in inflammatory indices," the Vatican said in a statement.
