Stricken Amy could have TB Empty Stricken Amy could have TB

STRICKEN AMY WINEHOUSE is coughing up BLOOD and has a raging chest infection, it emerged last night.

Doctors are also worried by skeletal Amy’s weight loss and lack of appetite, other symptoms of tuberculosis.

The 24-year-old Back to Black star has an irregular heartbeat and has been on a drip while medics try to wean her off hard drugs.

Last night a close pal told The Sun:"Amy is in a bad way. Doctors are still struggling to control her heartbeat but the chest condition has been really worrying them.

"She’d been been suffering horrible coughing fits and hurling up blood for a while but refused to be examined. Doctors now believe it is tuberculosis and are doing more tests to be certain."

Amy — who was steadily lost weight since hitting the big time in 2004 — collapsed at home in Camden, North London, on Monday.

She was taken to a clinic by dad Mitch, 57, who was still at her side yesterday.

Frighten
Medics were trying to discover if the collapse is related to a seizure she suffered last August when she was hospitalised after a huge drug binge. Tests at the time detected brain problems caused drug abuse.

The source said: "Things sound really bad, but at least now they have found something specific it will be easier to keep her in hospital and free from drugs.

"The word tuberculosis might frighten her into getting herself well. It certainly should do.

"She needs to realise she will die if she she doesn’t clean up her act."

A spokesman for Amy said it was up to doctors to rule whether she could sing at Glastonbury and Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday party in Hyde Park at the end of the month.

But a friend said:"The last thing she needs is to be wheeled on stage. She needs proper rest."

TB usually strikes in developing countries where, if untreated, it kills more than half its victims.
