چکیده
We have presented a case of rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria with resultant acute renal failure in association with varicella zoster infection, an association not previously described. A patient who has a severe varicella infection and volume depletion might be at risk for this life-threatening complication. Early recognition and prevention, together with appropriate support, might prevent this potentially lethal condition.
