Key result
A 10-year-old male with rhinovirus-induced rhabdomyolysis fully recovered after 20 days of supportive treatment with intravenous fluids, with creatine kinase levels decreasing from 35,892 to 2,062 IU/L.
Why the study?
Rhabdomyolysis in pediatric patients is a rare complication following viral infections, and rhinovirus-induced rhabdomyolysis is rarely reported.

May prompt rhabdomyolysis evaluation in children with viral myalgia and dark urine; extends sparse pediatric case reports but leaves open incidence and management data.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights rhinovirus as a rare but possible cause of virus-associated rhabdomyolysis in pediatric patients, which can be successfully managed with intravenous fluids.
Albar et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Rhabdomyolysis (n=1). Human rhinovirus infection was evaluated on Clinical recovery and creatine kinase levels. A 10-year-old male with rhinovirus-induced rhabdomyolysis fully recovered after 20 days of supportive treatment with intravenous fluids, with creatine kinase levels decreasing from 35,892 to 2,062 IU/L.
