摘要：

Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APSCT) is increasingly used in the treatment of breast cancer. We report a patient who experienced septic shock, and after treatment with antibiotics, high-dose corticosteroids and mechanical ventilation due to respiratory insufficiency, developed quadriplegia. Electroneurophysiological examination, as well as a muscle biopsy, showed a typical picture of acute quadriplegic myopathy with loss of thick filament proteins. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first reported case of this complication following APSCT.
