Abstract

Acute viral myositis is a rare condition that is commonly defined with influenza A, B, and enterovirus in the United States of America. Viral myositis complicated by rhabdomyolysis is even less common but requires prompt attention and diagnosis to prevent complications. We describe the occurrence of acute viral myositis complicated by rhabdomyolysis in a young 43-year-old man that lead to acute renal failure. It also highlights that clinicians should keep in mind that viral upper respiratory infections can be complicated with various clinical manifestations that could extend beyond respiratory symptoms.
