Abstract
McArdle disease was diagnosed in a 25-year-old female with a history o f muscle weakness and painful muscle cramps after exercise since adole scence. Blood tests after exercise found evidence of myolysis without the normal exercise-related elevation in lactic acid. Elevated glycoge n content was found in biopsied muscle tissue. No myophosphorylase act ivity was detected. The literature on this probably underdiagnosed dis ease is reviewed.
