Washington - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton returned
to work on Monday, after a month-long absence caused first by a stomach virus,
then a fall and a concussion and finally a brief hospitalisation for a blot
clot near her brain.
Clinton presided over a senior staff meeting, the first
she has convened since early December before contracting the stomach bug after
returning from a trip to Europe on 7 December.
The illness forced her to cancel a planned visit to North
Africa and the Middle East and left her severely dehydrated.
While at home, she fainted, fell and suffered a
concussion that was diagnosed by doctors on 20 December.
During a follow up exam on 30 December, doctors
discovered a blood clot in a vein that runs between the skull and brain.
She was admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital the
same day for treatment with blood thinners and released last Wednesday.
Clinton is expected to resign from the State Department
soon. President Barack Obama has nominated Senator John Kerry to replace her.
