Abstract
The novel SARS-CoV-2 introduced several new inflammatory conditions including SARS-CoV-2-associated rhabdomyolysis and viral myositis. We present a 22-year-old man who noted a week of cough followed by myalgias, dark-colored urine, and decreased oral intake. He was found to have acute nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis after an acutely positive SARS-CoV-2 test. Initial creatine kinase (CK) level was above the reference range as were liver enzymes reflective of muscle breakdown. Treatment involved fluid resuscitation and pain control, with close monitoring of kidney, liver, and skeletal markers over five days of hospitalization till there was clinical and symptomatic improvement.
