Severe rhabdomyolysis following a viral illness: A case report and review of the literature

A case of a male presenting with fever, myalgia, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia and acute kidney injury

“…Elevated CK levels appear to be the most sensitive indicator for rhabdomyolysis diagnosis, and a serum CK level five-times the upper normal limit (1000 U/L) is used to diagnose rhabdomyolysis by many clinicians. 5 The degree of CK elevation is proportional to the extent of muscle injury. 6 The diagnosis is confirmed by the simultaneous detection of myoglobin in urine.…”

Grippe sévère

“…L'existence d'une myosite est fréquente, le plus souvent quelques jours après l'atteinte respiratoire et d'évolution spontanément favorable [18]. Très rarement l'atteinte musculaire peut évoluer vers une rhabdomyolyse massive [19]. Les atteintes neurologiques liées au virus sont plus fréquentes chez l'enfant, mais peuvent se voir également chez l'adulte [20].…”

Clinical Features of and Risk Factors for Rhabdomyolysis Among Adult Patients with Dengue Virus Infection

“…19 Rhabdomyolysis caused by viral infections, such as influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, echoviruses, and coxsackievirus has been well-described. [19][20][21][22][23][24] However, only a few studies on rhabdomyolysis associated with DENV infection are available, and all of them are case reports or literature reviews. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The uncommon and atypical manifestation of dengue-related rhabdomyolysis has limited clinician awareness.…”
