Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Presenting with Rhabdomyolysis

چکیده
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging febrile illness. While many kinds of severe complications including acute renal failure have been reported, rhabdomyolysis is rarely reported in association with SFTS. A 54-year-old female farmer was admitted with fever and diffuse myalgia. Laboratory finding showed thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, azotemia, extremely elevated muscle enzyme levels and myoglobinuria. We describe a fatal case of rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure complicated by SFTS.

متن کاملDopamine-deficiency-enhanced hyperthermia and rhabdomyolysis during a heat wave in a metachromatic leucodystrophy heterozygote with metabolic myopathy.
Whether a dopamine-deficiency syndrome in a Parkinson-syndrome (PS) may occur more easily during a heat wave than during more temperate climate conditions is unknown. We report a case that may suggest this. A 56 yo male with heterozygosity for metachromatic leucodystrophy and a history of metabolic myopathy, PS and diabetes experienced worsening of the PS during a heat wave. His condition furth...
