After two days of treatment, his white blood cell count was trending down and he was responding to antibiotics well, doctors said.
Clinton has experienced health issues in the years since he demitted office in 2001. "In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery after experiencing prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath. He returned to the hospital for surgery for a partially collapsed lung in 2005, and in 2010 had a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery. He responded by embracing a largely vegan diet that saw him lose weight and report improved health," Associated Press reported.
