Braxton hospitalised by immune system condition
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 13 January 2012
R&B singer Toni Braxton has been hospitalised in LA after a potentially dangerous immune system condition that she revealed she suffered from a couple of years back started to flare up. Systemic lupus erythematosus can result in the immune system turning on the body, causing inflammation and tissue damage, and can be ultimately fatal.
But Braxton has told fans that, while it’s true the condition has flared up, causing her to require hospital treatment, she will be fine, and just needs to rest. TMZ quotes her as follows: “I wanted to say thanks to all my fans for their support, as I have been experiencing some flare ups with my lupus which has me in the hospital for a few days. I wanted to clear the record before rumours started, and I will totally be fine as I’m blessed to having an amazing family for support”.
