NEW YORK (AP) - Mariska Hargitay has a partially collapsed lung, but will appear on all of this season's episodes of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," Hargitay's spokesman said Tuesday.

Publicist Gary Mantoosh declined to comment further.

A statement issued by Wolf Films, the production company of "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf, said Hargitay's condition is improving.

"Mariska is feeling better," said Tuesday's statement. "We are looking forward to her quick recovery and return to set."

Hargitay, 44, won an Emmy last year for her role as Detective Olivia Benson on the show.
