HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Lily Allen has been hospitalized for a potentially fatal blood-poisoning condition called septicaemia.
The 25-year-old singer was rushed to the hospital from her Gloucestershire home on Friday night, just days after she suffered a miscarriage.
"She is responding well to treatment and her condition continues to improve," her rep told the Daily Mail. "Lily thanks everyone for their messages of support and again asks that she and partner Sam Cooper be left alone whilst she recovers."
Septicaemia can occur after a miscarriage if any foetal tissue left inside the body becomes infected. Most patients are given antibiotics to fight the infection.
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Allen had suffered a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy with boyfriend Sam Cooper.
She also suffered a miscarriage three years ago during her relationship with musician Ed Simons.
