Dealing with complications is crucial in the management of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). We describe a case of rhabdomyolysis in SCI without apparent soft tissue injury, presenting with nausea and vomiting as chief complaints. Given that gastrointestinal discomfort is common in SCI, this
Two patients with rhabdomyolysis-induced acute renal failure due to influenza A virus infection are presented. Both had influenza symptoms, with high fever and severe muscular pain leading to walking problems. In addition, they were dehydrated due to vomiting and diarrhoea. Both had evidence of an
In children, the most significant cause of rhabdomyolysis or muscle breakdown is viral infection. However, there are no reports that norovirus, a gastroenteric virus that commonly infects children, specifically causes rhabdomyolysis. Here, we report the first pediatric case of norovirus-associated
Five patients who had injected intravenous (i.v.) phenmetrazine or methamphetamine developed marked prostration resembling septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria, and azotemia. Soon after injection, four noted chills, fever, sweats, nausea, and

Recent data demonstrate that patients affected with hypokalemic salt-losing tubulopathies are prone to acute cardiac arrhythmias and rhabdomyolysis. The tendency to these potentially fatal complications is especially high if chronic hypokalemia is severe, in patients with diarrhea, vomiting or a
We report on a case of rhabdomyolysis induced by the correction of hyponatremia after psychogenic polydipsia and clozapine use, where the switch to a high dose of olanzapine resulted in the non-recurrence of rhabdomyolysis. The 46-year-old patient with the diagnosis of schizophrenia paranoid type,
Rhabdomyolysis and acute tubular necrosis (ATN) are described in a patient with pyloric stenosis in whom severe hypokalemia developed due to repetitive vomiting. Furthermore, the importance of hypokalemia in the development of acute renal failure is emphasized.
