Getting better: Kourtney Kardashian has revealed her sister Khloe is 'doing ok' as she fights off a staph infection

The reality star is being treated with intravenous antibiotics and has cancelled her book tour after picking up the hospital-borne infection.

Ill: Khloe Kardashian (pictured last week) has cancelled public appearances after contracting the nfection

Khloe cancelled her book tour on Wednesday to undergo a series of tests after falling ill - and initially blaming her symptoms on stress.

Now it has emerged that the 31-year-old reality star contracted the serious infection during the weeks spent in hospital tending to NBA star Lamar Odom.

She has a lesion on her leg which became painful and she later developed other symptoms including a high fever and swollen glands, TMZ reports. Khloe has been given a course in antibiotics.

While doctors are optomistic about Khloe's chance of a full recovery, they have banned her heavily pregnant sister Kim from visiting - in case she picks up the infection.

Busy schedule: Khloe has been doing almost daily in-store appearances to promote Strong Looks Better Naked as well as lots of press. The star is seen here last week at an appearance in San Diego

Kourtney Kardashian always manages to underplay her ensembles and ends up coming out on top. The eldest, most educated of the sisters generally refrains from the over-the-top looks that Kim, Khloe and Kylie tend to favor.

Here, case in point. She attended a WWD Variety event in Culver City on Thursday in an olive suede two-piece set. Very simple. High impact.

The coordinates are by Alice + Olivia and, although you can't quite see it here, Kourtney's top is cropped and has a fierce racer-back that exposes plenty of back with a contrasting zip running down the middle. Love!

This is a tough color to pull off and Kourtney does it beautifully with almost no accessories, save for the Cartier bracelet on her right wrist and black suede pumps. Well done!

If you've got to have Kourtney's look now, you can. It's up for grabs at Bergdorf Goodman for $1,044.

If you'd like to have a look around first, see below. We found some suede dresses and faux suede dresses that channel Kourtney's look for a lot less dough.

Staph infections are caused by a bacteria that typically lives on the nose or skin but can turn deadly if it enters deeper into the body and infects the bloodstream, joints, bones, lungs or heart.

Symptoms can vary from painful skin rashes and boils to dangerous heart infections. Food poisoning, blood poisoning and toxic shock syndrome are some of the most common types of staph infections, which are typically treated with antibiotics.

Khloe was meant to be in Houston, Texas, on Friday for a book signing.

The reality star has been doing almost daily in-store appearances to promote her now New York Times Best Seller as well as lots of press.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has also been at estranged husband Lamar Odom's bedside almost every day since he collapsed and slipped into a subsequent coma last month.
