Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis is characterized by local or generalized skeletal muscl e necrosis. It is caused by many clinical conditions and drug or alcoh ol abuse. Clinical symptoms are muscle pain and muscle weakness. Labor atory investigations show a rise in serum creatine phosphokinase and e lectrolyte disturbances. The most serious complication is acute renal failure. We present a patient with rhabdomyolysis and renal failure as sociated with a recent Influenza A virus infection.
