Spain's deputy PM hospitalised in intensive care: "Spain's deputy prime minister, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, is in intensive care in hospital with an infection caused by a prostate biopsy which had ruled out cancer, officials said Tuesday.
Rubalcaba, 59, had gone to Madrid's Gregorio Maranon hospital Sunday suffering from a high fever, which he believed was caused by a cold, said a government spokeswoman.
Doctors diagnosed a urinary tract infection caused by a prostate biopsy carried out three days earlier and he was transfered to intensive care on Monday because his fever persisted, said the hospital's head of urology, Doctor Carlos Hernandez Fernandez."
