摘要：

Objective Rhabdomyolysis induced by an RSV infection is a clinical entity. Case presentation A few years ago, one case of severe rhabdomyolysis associated with RSV was described. We present the case of an 18-year-old patient without relevant medical history with a nearly asymptomatic presentation of severe rhabdomyolysis induced by an RSV infection. He consulted the primary physician because of a cough with purulent sputa. A routine blood sample showed elevated creatine kinase levels and the patient was hospitalized. An extensive work-up could exclude other causes of rhabdomyolysis. Creatine kinase levels showed a spontaneous decrease. Conclusion This case report highlights an important but very rare presentation of rhabdomyolysis associated with RSV in an adult patient. RSV should be considered as a possible etiological agent for rhabdomyolysis.
