In spite of her ill health she is managing to take care of her office.

I have seen certain usages wherein there is no comma after introductory modifier. Is it trend now or is rule there before?
Have a look HERE.

In many cases a weak interruption does not absolutely require bracketing commas.
Thus either of the following is fine:
Shortly before the war, he was living in Paris.
Shortly before the war he was living in Paris.
With or without the bracketing comma, this sentence is perfectly clear.
