Madonna Hospitalized for Serious Bacterial Infection

Madonna was hospitalized after being found unresponsive in her New York City apartment, leading to a five-day stay in the intensive care unit. During this period, she was placed under intubation and later reported that she had been in a medically induced coma for 48 hours.
