Abstract

VASQUEZ-GARAGATTI, Raúl et al. Late rhabdomyolysis secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2021, vol.81, n.4, pp.656-658. ISSN 0025-7680.

SARS-CoV-2, the cause of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has shown to produce a variety of extrapulmonary manifestations. Rhabdomyolysis due to SARS-CoV-2 infection has been reported mainly in the early course of the disease. In this report, we present the case of a female patient with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection who recovered from respiratory compromise and developed a late-onset rhabdomyolysis successfully managed with oral corticoste roids and aggressive hydration. Prompt recognition of this underdiagnosed entity could help prevent subsequent life-threatening complications.

Keywords : COVID-19; Rhabdomyolysis; Coronavirus.
