MILAN (Reuters) – Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s health has improved, his doctors said on Wednesday, three weeks after he was admitted to hospital for a lung infection caused by chronic leukaemia. <\/p>\n

The 86-year-old billionaire media tycoon was rushed to Milan’s San Raffaele hospital on April 5, triggering speculation that his life might be in danger and drawing a stream of family and friends to his bedside.<\/p>\n

“Over the past four days, response to treatment has made it possible to achieve a stable clinical condition characterised by an optimal and convincing recovery of organ functions,” the latest medical bulletin said.<\/p>\n

Berlusconi, who leads the Forza Italia coalition party, came out of intensive care on April 16.<\/p>\n

His doctors have said that he is suffering from Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (CML). They did not specify when the cancer was first spotted, saying only that it was not acute. <\/p>\n
