I hope that she is not seriously ill. I never really totally believed that she fainted because she had the flu and was dehydrated.
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was hospitalized on Sunday with a blood clot stemming from a concussion she suffered earlier this month, a State Department spokesman said.
Mrs. Clinton, who had canceled most of her public events in recent weeks because of the concussion, was at a follow-up examination on Sunday when doctors discovered the blood clot, according to Philippe Reines, her longtime spokesman.
“She is being treated with anticoagulants and is at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital so that they can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours,” Mr. Reines said in a statement.
“Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion,” Mr. Reines said. “They will determine if any further action is required.”
Earlier this month, aides said that Mrs. Clinton, 65, had become ill and dehydrated, causing her to suffer a concussion after she fainted and struck her head.
Among the events she missed because of the injury was a Congressional hearing for the September attack on the United States Mission in Benghazi, Libya.
The fainting episode occurred after Mrs. Clinton became dehydrated because of a stomach virus she contracted during a trip to Europe, according to statement released by a close adviser and her doctors.
State Department officials had said Mrs. Clinton fainted when she was alone at her home in Washington but added that the concussion was not diagnosed immediately.
She canceled a planned trip to Morocco, and Victoria Nuland, a State Department spokeswoman, gave a mixed picture about the severity of her illness, describing her as having a “very uncomfortable stomach virus” and then saying she was “under the weather.”
