NEW YORK
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been diagnosed with pneumonia.
Her doctor said in a statement that Clinton had become overheated and dehydrated Sunday.
“I have just examined her and she is now rehydrated and recovering nicely,” said Dr. Lisa R. Bardack.
Bardack said the former secretary of state has had an allergy-related cough, and that during a follow-up examination Friday, the candidate was diagnosed with pneumonia, put on antibiotics, advised to rest and modify her schedule.
Clinton abruptly left a 9/11 anniversary ceremony Sunday after feeling “overheated,” according to her campaign, and hours later her doctor disclosed that the Democratic presidential nominee had pneumonia.
A video showed Clinton slumping and being held up by three people as she was helped into a van after the event.
