The 68-year-old AIADMK supremo was admitted to the hospital for treatment of fever and dehydration on September 22.
The doctors later said she needed a longer hospital stay as she was suffering from infection, and put her on respiratory support.
According to Apollo Hospitals, a team of specialist doctors -- cardiologists, respiratory physicians, consultants for infectious diseases, diabetologist and endocrinologist -- treated her.
