His Majesty treated for low fever, 'possible infection' - Royal Household Bureau
His Majesty the King has been treated for a lowfever and a "possible infection" in his blood, the Royal Household Bureau said in a statement on Monday.
The bureau, in what it said was a monthly update on His Majesty's health, said a team of physicians also monitored the King last month for a build up of cerebrospinal fluid.
His Majesty has been treated for various ailments over the past year at Bangkok's Siriraj Hospital and was last seen in publicon Jan. 11, when he spent several hours visiting his palace in the Thai capital.
"In the month of July 2016 a low fever was present," said the bureau's statement. "Blood tests showed a possible infection and physicians therefore had to administer antibiotics. After the treatment His Majesty's condition showed some improvement."
In a June statement the palace said the monarch was being treated for "water on the brain", or hydrocephalus, a build-up of the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the brain.
"The medical team has continuously monitored the condition of the cerebrospinal fluid and found drainage of cerebrospinal fluid throughout the month of July to be satisfactory."
