Television personality Khloé Kardashian has been diagnosed with a staph infection, and a source told PEOPLE Magazine that she developed in the infection while visiting her husband, former professional basketball player Lamar Odom, in the hospital.
Mr. Odom is currently being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after being transferred from a hospital in Las Vegas. Due to Ms. Kardashian's infection, she is now unable to visit her husband and had to cancel several book-signing appearances, according to the report.
She confirmed her diagnoses in a tweet to her fans on Saturday.
Staph infection is no joke. Mine was exacerbated by stress which is not a great combo. I'm under great medical care&receiving tons of love!
