Key result
Parainfluenza type 1 infection caused rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, and compartment syndrome in a child, who fully recovered following fasciotomies, skin grafting, and hemodialysis.
Highlights a rare case of severe rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, and compartment syndrome secondary to parainfluenza type 1 infection in a child, successfully managed with surgical and renal replacement therapies.

Alerts clinicians to rare parainfluenza complications in children; leaves open incidence, mechanisms, and prevention.
We present a case of para-influenza type 1 induced rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, and extensive compartment syndrome in a 6-year-old previously well child. Fasciotomies and subsequent skin grafting of both lower extremities and a prolonged course of hemodialysis led to a complete clinical and biochemical recovery.
