SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beto O’Rourke said Sunday that he had cleared his campaign schedule after receiving treatment at a San Antonio hospital for an unspecified bacterial infection.

In a statement tweeted Sunday by his campaign, O’Rourke said he sought treatment at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio after feeling ill Friday.

Intravenous antibiotic infusions improved his symptoms, O'Rourke said.

“While my symptoms have improved, I will be resting at home in El Paso in accordance with the doctors' recommendations,” he said. “I am sorry to have had to postpone events because of this, but (I) promise to be back on the road as soon as I am able.”

Who gets intravenous antibiotics...

My friend got an infection after surgery (cellulitis). He was on IV antibiotics for several days before it cleared up.

If he weren’t such a wuss, El Puta Politico O’Rourke wouldn’t let a STD stop him from his holy progressive crusade.

Intravenous antibiotics? Sounds serious. I hope he gets well but my layman’s take is that he has an antibiotic-resistant bacterial strain. Or an oddball one which oral antibiotics won’t touch. Or perhaps he is allergic to the class of or antibiotics which works best.

I’m going to refrain from commenting but I believe I’ll enjoy the comments of others. 😃

[Starstruck]

Surprised. That 60 foot distancing in his crowd of supporters should have protected him.

Intravenous antibiotics is an unusual step to take unless we’re talking something serious like sepsis otherwise they give you a script and send you away.

Maybe the incompetent illegal nurse can let a little air in the IV Line by accident.
