“…This evidence strongly suggests that direct viral invasion may have a causative role in precipitating rhabdomyolysis. Various reports documenting normal results of muscle biopsies or hyaline degeneration and myonecrosis but no viral particles by immunofluorescence [56] and EM [66] are used to refute this theory. Biopsies of clinically affected musculature that are essentially unremarkable raise the possibility of a circulating "toxin" or cytokine causing rhabdomyolysis.…”

Rhabdomyolysis can be precipitated by trauma, ischemia, metabolic defects, electrolyte abnormalities, drugs, and a wide variety of infectious diseases. At our institution, recent cases of rhabdomyolysis induced by influenza prompted us to review the infectious etiologies of this entity. In addition, a thorough literature search revealed numerous case reports but no general review on this subject. This study describes representative recent cases from our institution and details the wide variety of infections that can cause muscle damage. The pathophysiological mechanisms, muscle histology, and correlation with renal dysfunction are also discussed.

“…On review of the literature, we found seven reported cases of such an association [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Of these, three patients developed rhabdomyolysis without kidney involvement while in four cases, acute kidney injury was present along with rhabdomyolysis [12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Infectious mononucleosis is typically a self-limiting illness though it can cause serious complications. On the other hand, rhabdomyolysis can activate after intense exertion, drugs, or infections. We present a report of a patient who presented with infectious mononucleosis and developed rhabdomyolysis that was complicated by acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis, which makes it the eighth most reported case worldwide according to our review. Our aim is to bring the attention of clinicians to the fact that serious complications like rhabdomyolysis can happen following such a common viral infection.

“…Extreme elevation of creatine kinase can be seen in cases of acute viral myositis ranging from 10,000 IU/L [7] to 500,000 IU/L [8] . Viral myositis can occur from other viruses apart from the influenza virus including Coxsackievirus [8] , Epstein Barr virus [9] , [10] and Echovirus [11] .…”

Acute viral myositis is a fairly rare condition and usually seen in recovery phase of illness, especially in pediatric or geriatric population. Influenza type A, specifically H1N1 may present with generalized myositis and mild elevation of creatinine kinase in addition to usual manifestations. We would like to discuss an atypical presentation of Type A Influenza (H1N1) in a middle aged male who was never immunized for influenza, presenting with fever, vomiting, anuria and acute severe left upper extremity pain. The most interesting presentation in our patient was that, it was limited to a single extremity, unlike generalized presentation, which was previously reported, acute renal failure warranting renal replacement therapy. This case serves as a reminder for clinicians about atypical manifestations of H1N1 and its threatening metabolic complications. Hence the practitioners should be aware of this rare but possible presentation of certain strains of influenza virus. It also accentuates the importance of being immunized, reminding us of the Old but Golden Adage “Prevention is better than Cure.”
