Rhabdomyolysis in Acute Severe Asthma: A Case Report and Literature Review

摘要

An elevated serum CPK and the presence of myoglobin in the urine characterize rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis has been described in various traumatic and non-traumatic conditions; there are few reports of its association with acute severe asthma. In this paper, we report a case of acute severe asthma complicated by respiratory failure and rhabdomyolysis. We discuss the relationship between rhabdomyolysis and acute severe asthma and review the relevant literature.
