Influenza B Virus Infection Complicated by Rhabdomyolysis: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Influenza virus infection is with initial symptoms with fever, dry cough and muscle soreness. In some cases, influenza virus infection also brings complications with neurologic problems, heart diseases, hypoxemic respiratory failure, etc. Rhabdomyolysis, which precipitated by compression injury, alcohol ingestion or seizures, leads to acute kidney injury with myoglobinuria and elevated serum creatine phosphokinase level. Symptoms of rhabdomyolysis would include muscle pain, vomiting, weakness and confusion, and severe rhabdomyolysis may result in death. Influenza B virus infection may cause serious renal complication. We would demonstrate a case with rhabdomyolysis secondary to influenza B virus infection. (J Intern Med Taiwan 2017; 28: 309-312)
