NEW YORK -- A representative for Mariska Hargitay says the actress has a partially collapsed lung, but will appear on all of this season's episodes of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."

Hargitay's spokesman, Gary Mantoosh, declined further comment.

Representatives for the NBC police drama said a statement would be released later Tuesday.

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