title: Fatal rhabdomyolysis and renal failure associated with hand, foot and mouth disease.
abstract: Fatal severe rhabdomyolysis and anuric renal failure developed in a young man who had contracted hand, foot and mouth disease during an epidemic of this disease. Viral studies implicated coxsackievirus A16 as the infecting agent. This appears to be the first reported case of rhabdomyolysis that was associated with hand, foot and mouth disease and infection with coxsackievirus A16.
