Doctors detail Navalny poison treatment

German doctors treating Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny after he was poisoned with a nerve agent have detailed the case in an article for a major medical journal. Berlin’s Charite hospital said Wednesday that Navalny had given his permission for the article to be published in The Lancet journal.

In their journal article, Charite doctors detailed the exact course of Navalny’s illness and treatment with a variety of drugs to address his symptoms and the underlying medical condition.

As Navalny’s condition improved, he was brought out of a medically-induced coma and doctors determined that difficulties understanding speech and speaking he had initially showed after waking up disappeared after three weeks.
