Influenza A(H1N1) Infection with Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Renal Failure-A Case Report
摘要
Pandemic 2009 influenza A (H1N1) is an emerging disease first reported in April, 2009. Previous studies have pointed out that patients with pneumonia and respiratory failure arising from pandemic H1N1 may have abnormal laboratory examination results, including elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels. We report a patient with pandemic H1N1 infection who developed mild rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury (AKI). Rhabdomyolysis is uncommon but potentially life-threatening. We present a 33-year-old patient who developed rhabdomyolysis following pandemic influenza A (H1N1/09) infection. Although pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome are the most common severe complications of H1N1/09 infection, clinicians should be aware that H1N1/09 infection may be complicated by rhabdomyolysis.
