Disseminated Enterovirus Infection Complicated by Rhabdomyolysis in a Child with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Abstract

Enterovirus is not a common cause of myositis and rhabdomyolysis in children. We report a case of a two-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with disseminated enterovirus infection complicated by hepatitis, myositis, and rhabdomyolysis. The case was managed successfully with supportive care and high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins.
