Hillary Clinton has been diagnosed with pneumonia, according to her doctor, who issued a statement late Sunday after Clinton had to leave a 9/11 memorial ceremony in New York early.
Dr. Lisa Bardack said the Democratic presidential nominee was diagnosed Friday while being examined for a "prolonged cough," which Bardack said was related to allergies.
"She was put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule," said Bardack, in a statement released by the Clinton campaign. "While at this morning's event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely."
A Clinton spokesperson had initially said only that an episode Sunday morning, in which a wobbly Clinton appeared to stumble before being helped aboard a van, was because she got overheated.
Clinton went immediately to her daughter Chelsea's Manhattan apartment, and was examined later in the afternoon by Bardack at her home in Chappaqua.
