The conditions of the 22-year-old tennis player from Olbia have further improved and he has been hospitalized at the Santissima Trinità since Sunday due to type B meningitis.

The young man also spent yesterday in the intensive care unit but in these hours, barring complications not currently foreseen, he should be transferred to the infectious disease department to continue the therapy.

The athlete, one of the best tennis players on the island, had felt ill during a match that was being played at the Marina residence, in Quartu, and had been urgently transported to the Is Mirrionis hospital. On Sunday evening he had been transferred to Brotzu due to a heart problem, probably connected to the bacterium, to undergo specialist tests, then returned to Santissima Trinità. His conditions, initially defined as serious, had gradually improved thanks to the timely treatment and until yesterday evening they were improving further.

Now he should stay in hospital for another week until his parameters are completely regularized and then return home.
