Emanating reports suggest Brazilian legend Pele has been diagnosed of a urinary infection and the doctors suggest he would now be kept in the hospital for longer than originally planned. Pele who is now 81 years of age was previously discharged from the clinic and has returned after the symptoms became prevalent again.

The diagnosis

Previously, there was nothing to suggest that the previous case of urinary infection would repeat itself. However, when a routine check was being done on the Brazilian legend, the issue of the urinary infection was then figured out. The medical personnel at the hospital have revealed he should be discharged in a few days since he has been responding well to treatments. After an endoscopy was taken on him last week, it was understood that he found it difficult to eat and do basic things but the doctors believe he would be getting along well soon enough.

Pele's previous diagnosis

Before now, a tumour had been discovered which led him to spend a few days in the custody of medical personnel. Pele was even made to spend a few days at the intensive care unit in case things do not go exactly as planned.

These have not been the best of times for the Brazilian legend given his age even though he keeps responding well to medications
