Update on Nov. 24 at 12:09 p.m.: The court said in a statement: "Justice Ginsburg has been discharged from the hospital. She is home and doing well."

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday night was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore after suffering from fever and chills earlier in the day, a court spokeswoman said Saturday.

Ginsburg, 86, first was evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington before the transfer to Johns Hopkins.

"With intravenous antibiotics and fluids, her symptoms have abated and she expects to be released from the hospital as early as Sunday morning," the court's public information office said in a statement.

Ginsburg was absent from the bench on Nov. 13 because of a stomach bug, according to court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg, and the justice missed the arguments that day. But Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. announced Ginsburg would participate in the cases by reading the briefs and the argument transcripts.

Ginsburg has been treated for four bouts of cancer, the most recent in August for pancreatic cancer. The tumor was treated with radiation and, according to the court, there was no evidence of disease elsewhere in her body. She also had lung cancer surgery, which caused her to miss court sessions in January. Those were her first absences from the bench in her 26 years on the high court.

Ginsburg, who regularly travels the country to speak at law schools and other venues, has spoken in public in recent weeks. On Oct. 30, she appeared with Bill and Hillary Clinton at an event at Georgetown University Law Center.

In September, Ginsburg spoke at an event in New York about her battles with cancer.

"This latest has been my fourth cancer battle, and I found each time that when I'm active I'm much better than if I'm just lying about and feeling sorry for myself," Ginsburg said. She added: "It's a necessity to get up and go, it's stimulating, and somehow all these appearances that I've had since the end of August whatever my temporary disability is, it stops and I'm OK for the time of the event."
