Kris was sent 'into a panic' and left her 'freaked out', Kardashian sources told TMZ. 

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 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 optimistic 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. 

Khloe took to Twitter on Wednesday to tell fans she was cancelling two public appearances to promote her book Strong Looks Better Naked.

At the time, the star thought stress was to blame, writing: 'Dolls! So sorry I needed 2 re schedule my book signing. I'm sick & dr's orders are that I need to lay low until we narrow down what's wrong.

'I'll be going for more testing today. I'm very sorry again. Stress can run our bodies down so please everyone take care of yourselves.'

She later tweeted: 'I'm reading all of your tweets + messages on my Facebook.... seriously u guys give me strength! I love and appreciate you more than u know.' 

And she added: 'Signing off.... Antibiotics +painkillers + tweeting does not equal anything good lol'

The star's representative also confirmed her illness, telling Gossip Cop: 'She is getting treatment and will be OK,' adding she 'just needs to rest and get it treated.'  

The reality star is hoping to reschedule her appearances. 

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 Odom's bedside almost every day since he collapsed and slipped into a subsequent coma last month.
