Ukraine's Yushchenko in hospital

Yushchenko, in front of his election poster, claims he was poisoned
**Ukraine's opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko has gone into hospital in Austria for tests into the mystery illness that disfigured his face.
Doctors will spend the weekend examining him to assess whether his illness was caused by poisoning.
Mr Yushchenko was taken ill in September and resumed his presidential campaign with a pock-marked face - a marked difference in his appearance.
Fraud marred the poll so the second round is being re-run on 26 December.
The Supreme Court ordered the re-run after the opposition, backed by foreign observers, reported massive fraud in the 21 November vote.
Mr Yushchenko will again face Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, whose official win last time led to massive opposition protests on the streets of Kiev.
**Wife 'tasted medicine'
Mr Yushchenko has alleged that his opponents poisoned him during September's campaign but doctors have not confirmed this.
At the clinic in Vienna, doctors will carry out tissue biopsies, including tests on Mr Yushchenko's skin.
"It will be an entire imaging diagnosis to look at the size and function of his various organs. We are going to reassess the entire blood chemistry, including possible types of poisoning," said Dr Michael Zimpfer, director of the Rudolfinerhaus hospital.
Dr Zimpfer said that if Mr Yushchenko's appearance was caused by chloracne - an acute form of acne which can be caused by dioxins - it could take two to three years to clear.
Mr Yushchenko's wife Kateryna told ABC's Good Morning America she tasted medicine on her husband's lips when she kissed him the night before he became ill.
"I thought there was something different about my husband when he came home that night - because he has never taken any medicine. He's a very healthy man," she said.
Arriving at the clinic on Friday, Mr Yushchenko told reporters he was getting "better health every day".
Earlier, both Mr Yushchenko and Mr Yanukovych were on the campaign trail.
The prime minister accused the Yushchenko camp of trying to intimidate his supporters in the western regions of Ukraine where the opposition had been the dominant force.
"The vote results won't be fair," Mr Yanukovych told reporters in Kiev.
Before leaving for Vienna, Mr Yushchenko predicted that he would win with more than 60% of votes. He vowed to serve the interests of the whole country, including supporters of Mr Yanukovych, whose stronghold is in the east and south.
In other developments:
* Mr Yanukovych's native Donetsk region postpones a self-rule referendum planned for 9 January
* Russian President Vladimir Putin says he has no objection to Ukraine joining the EU - in contrast to previous statements.
Opposition supporters have been scaling back their street protests after parliament agreed on Wednesday to reform the electoral law to avoid vote-rigging on 26 December.
Parliament also agreed to transfers some presidential powers to parliament.

VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko checked into an Austrian hospital to undergo new tests, and doctors said they wanted to re-examine him to assess whether his mysterious illness was caused by poisoning.
"He needs to be re-examined so that we can get a chance to further clarify the nature of his illness," Dr. Michael Zimpfer, director of the Rudolfinerhaus hospital, told reporters shortly after Yushchenko's arrival late Friday.
"It will be an entire imaging diagnosis to look at the size and function of his various organs. We are going to reassess the entire blood chemistry, including possible types of poisoning. We will take tissue biopsies and we will work from this."
Zimpfer said the biopsies would be taken from "wherever is necessary, including his skin and the mucus of his bowels."
Yushchenko has accused Ukrainian authorities of trying to poison him in the run-up to November's fraudulent presidential election. Ukraine's Supreme Court voided the outcome after Yushchenko lost to Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, and a rerun of the ballot will be held on December 26.
He first fell ill in September and was rushed to the Vienna hospital. He resumed campaigning later in the month but with a pockmarked and badly disfigured face.
"Actually, he was very lucky that he was brought to Vienna because doctors said if he would stay another 24 hours in Ukraine, it could be a 'final solution,' so called," Oleh Rybachuk, Yushchenko's chief of staff, said in a televised interview Friday night for the "NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" on U.S. public television.
"And now after taking two treatments in Vienna, he has fully recovered, as (the) doctor says, but he needs a certain rest and he needs to take care of this effects on his face which they call residual. But actually, internally there are no more damages so he has been cured internally," Rybachuk said.
If Yushchenko's disfigurement turns out to be chloracne -- a type of adult acne caused by exposure to toxic chemicals -- it could take a long time to clear, Zimpfer said. Sometimes it takes two to three years for people to heal.
Yushchenko told reporters on arrival Friday that he would stay until Monday, unless tests were finished before then.
He arrived in a convoy of three cars, surrounded by bodyguards, and was accompanied by his wife, Kateryna Chumachenko.
"Everything is going well. I plan to live for a long time and I plan to live happily. I am getting better health every day," said Yushchenko, wearing a scarf in his orange campaign color.
Zimpfer said doctors "cannot exclude poisoning," but added: "Theoretically it could be that we never can prove poisoning because he only came here a few days after the symptoms appeared. On the other hand, there are poisons that stay in the body a long time."
Yushchenko told reporters that he was confident of victory in the runoff -- provided the vote is fair.
"There are no doubts that we will win on December 26. We don't have a problem with support, we don't have a problem with getting votes. The problem is an honest election," Yushchenko said.
Dr. Nikolai Korpan, the Rudolfinerhaus physician who oversaw Yushchenko's treatment, said earlier this week that doctors were working on three different poisoning theories, including one involving dioxin.
Earlier in the race, Yushchenko had refused to let doctors take biopsies of his facial tissue and reportedly said he did not want to have his face bandaged while campaigning.
Going to Austria will give him an opportunity to say conclusively what happened, said Markian Bilynskyj, a Kiev-based analyst.
He noted that Yushchenko made a point of telling reporters at a news conference that he was going to receive treatment in Austria -- not the mark of a candidate trying to hide his illness.
"He can afford to miss a couple of days," he said. "The critical stages were before the first and the second round (of elections). Should he become president, he would have to dispel any doubts of his health."
Another analyst, Oleksandr Dergachev, affiliated with the Kiev-based Razumkov Center of Politcal Studies, also said that Yushchenko's behavior suggested he was going for tests -- not that his condition was deteriorating.
"Two days ago, Yushchenko said, based on fresh information from the Austrian clinic, that the final conclusions would be ready in the nearest days -- and promised to make them public.
"He left either to undergo more tests, or participate in final registering the documents to bring them home," he said.
