Epstein-Barr Virus Infection Associated with Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Renal Failure

Acute renal failure associated with non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis has been well documented in several studies and represents between 5 to 7 percent of the cases of acute renal failure treated at two institutions. There is only one previous case reported in the literature that described Epstein-Barr v...

Description
Summary:Acute renal failure associated with non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis has been well documented in several studies and represents between 5 to 7 percent of the cases of acute renal failure treated at two institutions. There is only one previous case reported in the literature that described Epstein-Barr virus infection as the etiology of acute rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure. The authors report another case of rhabdomyolysis and nonoliguric renal failure in a child with Epstein-Barr virus infection.
