Jerry Lewis hospitalised for infection

Actor-comedian Jerry Lewis was admitted to a hospital in Las Vegas on Friday after developing urinary tract infection.

According to Lewis' publicist, he has been responding well to antibiotics and is expected to be released soon, reported New York Daily News.

Lewis was previously hospitalised in NY in 2012 for blood sugar issues and the year prior for exhaustion.

The comedian, best known for his "Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis Show" radio series, still plans to be in Toronto later this week to shoot a new movie.
