Apple Inc.'s Steve Jobs said the board has granted him medical leave to concentrate on his health.


Apple stock fell as much as 7 per cent on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange following the news.


"At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company," Jobs said in a letter.


During his leave of absence, Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook, will be responsible for day to day operations, the CEO said in a media statement.


Jobs will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.


Jobs did not say for how long he would be on leave but said that he hopes "to be back as soon as I can."


Jobs had stepped away from his duties in January 2009 for health reasons, although he remained involved in major strategic decisions. Cook took over day-to-day operations then too.


Jobs, a pancreatic cancer survivor, underwent a liver transplant while on leave, returning to the company in late June.


Apple is due to report its fourth quarter results after market close on Tuesday.

體重失控下降 喬布斯需攙扶
數據﹕換肝後活過5年者不足一半

蘋果總裁喬布斯（Steve Jobs）突然公布無限期休假專心養病，又無透露病情，令人憂慮其健康狀和蘋果發展前景。知情人士透露，喬布斯6年前擊退胰臟癌後，前年換肝又出現後遺症，無法控制體重不斷下降。數據顯示，喬布斯這種癌症病人換肝後的存活率，5年內不足五成。


55歲的喬布斯自去年10月起未再公開露面，近期被指身體愈益衰弱，因此提出休假。今天原定與傳媒大亨梅鐸（Rupert Murdoch）公布iPad電子報《The Daily》的計劃亦要押後，儘管消息人士稱，有關安排涉及訂購的技術問題，與喬布斯健康無關。

對於喬布斯日漸消瘦，彭博通訊社引述消息人士指他已無法控制體重。外界猜測，他若非癌症復發，就是受到嚴重感染，或藥物副作用影響。知情人士透露，喬布斯前年換肝後，出現換肝病人常見的免疫系統問題，「健康狀反覆」，容易患上感冒等疾病。他最近數周的健康「開始走下坡」，體型「愈益消瘦」，每周僅上班一至兩天，又經常留在辦公室吃午飯，不再上公司飯堂，走路有時還需攙扶，但目前出現的換肝後遺症應不會致命。
