title: [Kidney failure, acute hepatitis and rhabdomyolysis secondary to an acute cytomegalovirus infection in a previously healthy patient].
abstract: A 40-year-old male with unremarkable past history was admitted because of fainting during an athletic run in the city. At the time of admission there were increased plasma creatinine level and phosphokinase activity, with myoglobinuria and increased transaminase activity. Serologic tests for viruses on admission and after 15 days showed a selective increase in the anti-CMV titer from 1/16 to 1/256, being negative for the remaining viruses. The renal function rapidly recovered without sequelae. According to the literature, this would be the first reported case of acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis and acute hepatitis due to cytomegalovirus infection in a previously healthy individual.
