OBJECTIVE: This report describes a unique case of recurring rhabdomyolysis associated with influenza-like illness. PATIENT: A 16-year-old black male, a physically fit weight-lifter, presented complaining of a brief history of upper respiratory infection. He had experienced muscular aches and observed his urine was a brown "Coca Cola" color. He was diagnosed with an influenza-like illness and associated rhabdomyolysis. He had been previously treated for a similar episode of flu-like symptoms and brown urine two years before. The patient was treated with IV fluids and discharged on day seven. He has remained asymptomatic. Post-discharge muscle biopsy results indicated a partial deficiency of carnitine palmitoyltransferase II, a rare defect in mitochondrial metabolism. DISCUSSION: Although traumatic rhabdomyolysis cases have been reported, few case reports have been documented associating an influenza-like illness and rhabdomyolysis. Deficiency of carnitine palmitoyltransferase often causes nonexercise-induced rhabdomyolysis. CONCLUSION: Prevention should consist and a yearly influenza vaccination education on nutrition and exercise. |
