Singer Lily Allen is in the hospital being treated for septicemia, a form of blood poisoning, just a few days after she suffered a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy.
Her spokesperson confirmed:
‘Lily Allen is back in hospital, where she is being treated for septicaemia. She is responding well to treatment and her condition continues to improve. Lily thanks everyone for their messages of support and again asks that she and partner Sam Cooper be left alone whilst she recovers.’
A friend told the Daily Mail:
‘Lily had been recuperating at home with Sam and her family, but she has been taken back to hospital and is getting the best care possible at the moment. Everyone is extremely concerned, but she is in the best place and luckily she was admitted quickly.’
Septicemia is a potentially life-threatening condition that causes fevers, chills, and rapid heart rate, and rapidly progresses to shock, including decreased blood pressure, hypothermia and confusion. It is treated with antibiotics. Sometimes after women miscarry, they can get a severe infection, which can, in some cases, lead to septicemia.
We wish Lily and her partner Sam a speedy recovery.
