Infectious mononucleosis associated with rhabdomyolysis and renal failure.
Acute rhabdomyolysis and renal failure occurred in a 16-year-old boy with infectious mononucleosis; recovery was complete. Renal failure is a rare complication of infectious mononucleosis. Rhabdomyolysis has been reported only once in association with the Epstein-Barr virus, but has frequently been associated with influenza virus infections. Prospective studies measuring creatine phosphokinase enzymes should establish the frequency of rhabdomyolysis in viral infections.
