Overview
- Mirtha Legrand, who was admitted Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, to Sanatorio Mater Dei for respiratory symptoms, left the hospital after a week of treatment and returned to her home on Avenida del Libertador.
- Doctors treated her for bronquitis with antibiotics and physiotherapy and reported a favorable clinical evolution during the week of observation.
- A CT scan performed during the stay showed re‑exacerbation of a chronic inflammatory airway condition, a hiatal hernia affecting ventilation, and an unchanged 14 mm pulmonary nodule in the right upper lobe compatible with a hamartoma.
- The hospital issued an official discharge communiqué signed by Dr. Enrique Echagüe that thanked the public for support and said Legrand will continue recovery at home under medical instructions.
- Her granddaughter Juana Viale covered the TV program during the absence and the family says any decision on Legrand’s return to public activity will follow her clinical progress and doctors’ recommendations.
