BALTIMORE — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is back in her Washington, D.C., home after a two-night stay at a Baltimore hospital, a court spokeswoman told The Associated Press.
Here are the latest updates:
Update 5:15 a.m. EST Nov. 25: Ginsburg, 86, was released Sunday from Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she was transferred Friday and "treated for a possible infection," according to the AP. Ginsburg initially had gone to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington with "chills and fever," the news agency reported.
A Supreme Court spokeswoman told the AP that Ginsburg is "doing well" after her release.
Original report: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to a hospital Friday for chills and a fever.
Ginsburg, 86, was evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington before she was transferred to Johns Hopkins Hospital where she will continue to be evaluated and undergo treatment, the court said in a release.
Her condition has improved through the use of antibiotics and intravenous fluids. She is expected to be released as soon as Sunday morning.
This is not the first health scare for the justice.
In August, she was treated for pancreatic cancer. Last year, she underwent treatment to have cancerous nodules removed. Two months before that, she fractured three ribs after falling in her office.
