Senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi was discharged from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on Tuesday morning after recovering from a "systemic infection", doctors said. ADVERTISEMENTAccording to hospital chairperson Dr Ajay Swaroop, the 79-year-old underwent treatment for a systemic infection and responded well to antibiotics. A systemic infection occurs when pathogens such as bacteria enter the bloodstream and spread throughout the body rather than staying localised. The hospital authorities on Thursday said, "Sonia Gandhi is responding well to treatment for a systemic infection and continues to remain under medical supervision." Due to his mother’s hospitalisation, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi did not attend the all-party meeting held at Parliament House on Wednesday.
