British supermodel Naomi Campbell has been hospitalized in Sao Paulo and is being treated by one of Brazil's top specialists in infectious disease, the hospital's press office said on Tuesday.

Campbell, a frequent visitor to Brazil who earlier this month celebrated Carnival in the northeastern city of Salvador, was hospitalized Sunday in Sao Paulo's Sirio Libanes Hospital.

"The patient and her advisers have determined that the hospital's medical staff will not issue any formal or informal information on her medical condition," a statement released by the hospital said.

Campbell, 37, is under the care of David Uip, a specialist in infectious diseases, and gynecologist Jose Aristodemo Pinotti, the statement said
