The condition of former President Pranab Mukherjee declined on Monday morning and he has suffered a septic shock due to his lung infection, said the Army’s Research and Referral Hospital.
Doctors attending on the 84-year-old Mukherjee said he continues to be in a deep coma and is on ventilator support.
Mukherjee is being managed by a team of specialists, they added.
The former President was admitted to the hospital in Delhi Cantonment on August 10, and was operated the same day for removal of a clot in his brain.
He later developed a lung infection.
