Kyprianou recovering from lung infection

FORMER President Spyros Kyprianou is being treated for a lung infection and was out of danger yesterday, his doctor Nicos Katodritis said.

Kyprianou was admitted to the Bank of Cyprus Oncology Centre on Monday suffering from a high fever and dehydration.

The former House President and DIKO leader, who was diagnosed with pelvic cancer in June, has been put on medication to treat a ” non-serious lung infection,”Dr Katodritis said.

Kyprianou’s doctor said the veteran politician was doing much better yesterday and said that he would overcome the infection.

Kyprianou, 68, was last June diagnosed as suffering from malignant bone- cancer of the pelvis. His cancer is being treated with radiotherapy.
