AMY WINEHOUSE ILLNESS STILL A MYSTERY
Amy WinehouseRehab singer Amy Winehouse has tested negative for the deadly disease tuberculosis, with doctors indicating the star is suffering from a bad chest infection. Winehouse was admitted into a private clinic in Marylebone, London, on Monday after she collapsed in her home. It had been reported the star may have contracted the infectious condition, which is said to be common among drug addicts and very heavy drinkers, as they have a reduced immunity system and are more vulnerable to infections. But a representative for the star has confirmed she has been given the all-clear after several medical tests. Chris Goodman tells People.com, "She has a chest infection and she had a routine test for TB, which came back negative."The 24-year-old is still undergoing treatment and doctors will soon decide whether she is fit to honor her upcoming performance commitments, including an appearance at legendary British music festival Glastonbury at the end of the month. Goodman adds, "She would really love to do the show -- she always wants to do these things. But she will listen to her doctors."
