Abstract/OtherAbstract:
There are very few reports in the literature of rhabdomyolysis in falciparum malaria and they mostly consist of single case studies. A report from Sri Lanka described a single patient with myoglobinuria and skeletal muscle necrosis. Taylor and Prosser reported a single case of rhabdomyolysis with renal failure. We report on 12 patients with evidence of skeletal muscle injury in severe malaria from Rourkela, Orissa State, India.
