Mariska Hargitay, the Emmy-winning star of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” is recovering after suffering a partially collapsed lung.

The actress’s representative, Gary Mantoosh, revealed her condition Monday but added in the statement that she will appear in all remaining episodes of the NBC show this season.

He declined to say how Hargitay, 44, suffered the injury.

Wolf Films, “L&O” creator Dick Wolf’s production company, also issued a statement Tuesday on the matter.

“Mariska is feeling better,” said the statement. “We are looking forward to her quick recovery and return to set.”

Hargitay won an Emmy last year for playing Det. Olivia Benson on the series, which is currently in its tenth season.

She was also nominated for her role at Sunday’s Golden Globes, with the best actress win going to “True Blood” star Anna Paquin.
