Etta James Hospitalized Due to Potentially Fatal Blood Poisoning - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Etta James took to a Riverside, California hospital earlier this week seeking treatment for a possibly dire blood poisoning condition, according to E! Online.

The 'At Last' singer's ailment is called sepsis, a condition that involves the entire body to become inflamed due to infection -- James' sepsis was brought on by a urinary tract infection. The condition can lead to multiple organ failure and death. But now that James is under the hospital's care, she is most likely on a heavy dose of antibiotics and receiving intravenous fluids.

Unfortunately, this latest hospital stint isn't on a short list of James' health issues. In 2009 she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and the following year spent time in the hospital for treatment of a similar blood condition. She also, reportedly, suffers from leukemia -- a private fact publicly learned during her husband and son's legal battle to gain access to an unnecessarily large portion of James' vast wealth in order to cover her medical bills.

E! also reports that according to James' doctors, the blues legend's medical state requires 24/7 care to assist her with the everyday tasks of eating and getting dressed in the morning.

Our thoughts are with the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.
