Zsa Zsa Gabor is running a high fever, has fluid in her lungs, an infection in her recently amputated leg and doesn't recognize anyone, her husband said Tuesday.

Frederic Prinz von Anhalt said that Gabor apparently had a stroke during or after last month's surgery.

Von Anhalt is at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center with his wife as doctors work to stabilize her. He said Gabor has not recognized anyone since her leg amputation on Jan. 14.

Earlier Tuesday, her husband's spokesman said that Gabor had been rushed to a Los Angeles hospital.

"She was spitting blood," spokesman John Blanchette told CNN.

Her husband called the doctor, who instructed him to call an ambulance, Blanchette said.

Von Anhalt said Gabor ate breakfast Tuesday but then started spitting up blood and running a high fever. He added that she is conscious but doesn't know what is going on.

Gabor, who turns 94 on Sunday, broke her hip and had replacement surgery in July. She has been hospitalized several times for swelling in her legs and blood clots throughout her body. In January, most of her right leg was amputated when a persistent infection wouldn't heal.
