The treatment plan, including appropriate antibiotics, respiratory support and other allied clinical measures, are presently being continued to treat the infection, the press release by Viswanathan said.
She "is responding adequately to the comprehensive treatment being given to her. A team of doctors are collectively monitoring her treatment," the release said, adding, she has been "advised further stay in the hospital for treatment."
On Sunday, for the first time since she was hospitalised on 22 September, the Apollo Hospital said the Chief Minister was being treated for "infection" and is "responding well".
A bulletin from the hospital had said that it had taken expert opinion from a UK-based doctor, who examined her and concurred with the present line of treatment.
The 68-year old AIADMK supremo was admitted to the hospital after she complained of fever and dehydration.
