Abstract
We report a patient with occult muscle disease who presented with raised se rum aminotransaminases. This case report emphasises the importance of consi dering muscle disease in the differential diagnosis of raised serum aminotr ansaminases, as it may negate the need for invasive investigations such as liver biopsy.
