title: Severe rhabdomyolysis as a complication of peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
abstract: We present a case of severe rhabdomyolysis developing after peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) in a 17-year-old woman with Ki-1 lymphoma. Severe muscle weakness, myoglobinemia and acute renal failure developed on day 23 following PBSCT associated with painful peripheral neuropathy. Cytomegalovirus infection may have been a contributory factor.
