As suspense continued over the health condition of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, who is admitted to Apollo Hospitals since September, no medical bulletin was issued from the hospital for sixth consecutive day.

Apollo Hospitals, in its last bulletin issued on October 10, said Jayalalithaa is constantly being monitored by intensivists and other consultants.

Tamil movie actor Rajinikanth on Sunday visited Apollo Hospitals to enquire about Jayalalithaa's health.

In the October 10 bulletin, the hospital said: "Necessary respiratory support, antibiotics, nutrition, supportive therapy and passive physiotherapy are being given."

The 68-year-old Jayalalithaa was admitted to the hospital on September 22 for fever and dehydration.

The doctors later said she needed a longer stay at the hospital as she was suffering from infection and put her on respiratory support.
