Rhabdomyolysis is a serious condition characterized by muscle breakdown. Common causes include exertion, crush, and drugs. Infection, many more viral infections such as influenza A and B, coxsackie viruses, Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex, adenovirus, echovirus, HIV, and cytomegalovirus are also recogni-zed as the reason for rhabdomyolysis. Case report. We present a case of a 47-year-old male patient with fever, muscle pain, and dark urine whose nasopharyngeal swab detected Influenza A infection. Initial laboratory analysis revealed extremely elevated levels of creatine kinase (CK) necessitating hospital treatment. Following a ten-day course of treatment, the patient was discharged without complications such as acute renal failure or myositis. Conclusion. Influenza A is a common infection that causes outbreaks and epidemics in cold months that do not always cause respiratory complications. Rhabdo-myolysis is a rare but serious complication that should be recognized and treated because of the high risk of morbidity and mortality. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/32360 |
