Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome characterized by muscle necrosis and release of intracellular muscle constituents into the circulation. Rhabdomylosis can be precipitated by different causes, such as trauma, extraordinary physical exer- tion, metabolic disorder, drugs, toxins, infection, or endocrinopathy. Salmonellosis is another rare cause of rhabdomyolysis. We report a 62-year-old male who developed severe diarrhea and vomitting, one day after boiled pork & raw octopus ingestion. The diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis was established primarily by the elevated serum CPK and myoglobin level. There were no other traumatic, metabolic, toxic, or enzymatic causes for the rhabdomyolysis. Stool cultures received at the first day of hospitalization yielded Salmonella Group C. Salmonella sp. is suggested to cause muscle damage by direct bacterial invasion as well as by decreasing the oxidative and glycolytic enzyme activity of skeletal muscles and by activating lysosomal enzymes. We wish to draw attention to these serious complication of salmonella gastroenteritis, and to institute of prompt measures for preventing the development of ATN. We report a case of acute renal failure associated with rhabdomyolysis and gastroenteritis caused by salmonella Group C with review of literatures.
