LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -U.S. former President Bill Clinton was in a California hospital on Thursday with an infection and responding well to two days of treatment, his doctors said.<\/p>

Clinton, 75, was admitted on Tuesday evening to the UCI Medical Center in Irvine \u201cfor a non-COVID-19 infection,\u201d Clinton spokesperson Angel Urena. \u201cHe is on the mend, in good spirits, and incredibly thankful to the doctors, nurses and staff providing him with excellent care.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former president went to the hospital after feeling fatigued and was diagnosed with sepsis, an infection of the bloodstream, which doctors believe started as a urinary tract infection, CNN reported, citing his doctors.<\/p>\n

Clinton\u2019s physicians, Alpesh Amin and Lisa Bardack, said in a statement that he was \u201cadmitted to the hospital for close monitoring and administered IV antibiotics and fluids.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe remains at the hospital for continuous monitoring,\u201d they said. \u201cAfter two days of treatment, his white blood cell count is trending down and he is responding to antibiotics well.\u201d<\/p>\n

They added: \u201cWe hope to have him go home soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clinton, a Democrat who was president from 1993-2001, has had past health issues, including a 2004 quadruple bypass surgery and a 2010 procedure to open a blocked artery in his heart with two stents. CNN reported that Clinton\u2019s current hospital stay is not related to his heart issues.<\/p>\n

CNN also reported that the former president was in the intensive care unit, primarily to give him privacy, and he was not on a breathing machine, according to doctors treating the former president at University of California Irvine Medical Center, California.<\/p>\n

The former Arkansas governor came to the White House by defeating an incumbent president, Republican George H.W. Bush, and served during a period of acute partisanship in Washington, a harbinger of the current bitter political state.<\/p>\n

Clinton won re-election in 1996 against longtime Republican Senator Bob Dole.<\/p>\n

Clinton endured bruising political battles with Republicans. He was impeached in 1998 by the Republican-led House of Representatives over his sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky but remained in office when the Senate acquitted him in 1999.<\/p>\n

He is known for a remarkable talent for connecting with people and an exceptional understanding of policy issues, making him an able politician and leader.<\/p>\n
