Rhabdomyolysis - A Rare Presentation of COVID-19

COVID-19 pandemic presented a great global health-care challenge. The spectrum of illness comprises pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations including hepatic, renal, and neurological complications. Our patient is a young male who presented with fever, severe myalgia, and respiratory distress. After a thorough clinical examination and laboratory investigations, the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia and associated rhabdomyolysis was made. He developed acute renal failure for which intravenous hydration was given. He also required renal replacement therapy. He was successfully treated and discharged with complete remission of symptoms. We did a literature search for similar cases and have discussed the potential mechanisms implied for these complications.
