Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to increase morbidity and mortality. Early recognition of symptoms, along with prompt intervention, is required to improve patient outcomes. COVID-19 can have a multifaceted presentation, which can be a diagnostic challenge. Here, we report the first case of COVID-19 presenting as severe rhabdomyolysis with creatine kinase > 500,000 U/L with normal renal function in a young adult.
Keywords: covid-19; normal renal function; rhabdomyolysis.
