Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has said his colleague, Justice Clarence Thomas, is not in any danger after being hospitalized for an infection last week.

TMZ reported Thursday that Breyer said the 73-year-old Supreme Court Justice was fine, barely a week after he was hospitalized on March 18, after he experienced flu-like symptoms.

In a statement on March 20, the court said Thomas has been at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C.

"He underwent tests, was diagnosed with an infection, and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics," the court said in the statement. "His symptoms are abating, he is resting comfortably, and he expects to be released from the hospital in a day or two."
