# Daniel Osvaldo recovering after life-threatening lung感染 > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/daniel-osvaldo-health-emergency > Updated: 2026-10-15T18:39:00.000Z. Sources: 127. Developments: 9. Former professional footballer and musician Daniel Osvaldo has transitioned from intensive care to intermediate care as he recovers from a life-threatening lung infection. The infection, which originated from an untreated dental cavity, spread to his respiratory tract and right lung, necessitating surgery to extract the tooth and address a pleural effusion. Initially treated at Llavallol Hospital, Osvaldo has since been moved to the Hospital del Bicentenario de Esteban Echeverría in Monte Grande. Medical professionals noted that while a weakened immune system compounded the illness, his significant muscle mass and history as a high-level athlete may have aided his resistance. By mid-October, Osvaldo had undergone a surgical procedure to drain accumulated pus and remove infection residue from around his right lung. He has since shown signs of improvement and is responding favorably to treatment. Osvaldo has used social media to provide updates to his followers, including a photo with his father, Raúl, to offer reassurance. He continues to express a commitment to lifestyle changes following the health crisis, stating, “I haven't smoked for two weeks and I don't intend to ever do it again.” He remains connected to his musical group, Barrio Viejo, and his football roots with the Huracán senior team. ## Claims - An untreated cavity was the origin of the lung infection.
