Abstract

Hepatitis A is typically a self-limiting viral infection of the liver. Patients with hepatitis A may exhibit a wide range of clinical manifestations, from asymptomatic infection to fulminant liver failure. However, extra-hepatic manifestations such as rhabdomyolysis are exceedingly rare and, if unrecognized, may lead to delayed or missed diagnosis. We present the case of a 33-year-old Libyan female who developed rhabdomyolysis as a rare extra-hepatic complication of acute hepatitis A infection. The patient made a full recovery with timely conservative management. This case highlights the importance of maintaining clinical vigilance for atypical presentations of hepatitis A, as early recognition and supportive care are essential to prevent serious complications.
