Sheba Hospital reports that there has been no change in past Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's condition following the dramatic announcement Monday on a deterioration in his condition. Doctors are waiting to see if Sharon responds to anti-biotics and steroids that he received against infection within the next day.

A senior doctor at the hospital noted that this is an effect that could pass within three days until it becomes clear if the medicinal treatment was effective. (Meital Yasur Beit-Or)
