[Acute rhabdomyolysis disclosing polymyositis in children].
Traumatic and non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis have been mostly reported in adults. Polymyositis rarely leads to rhabdomyolysis.


METHODS
We report the case of a 13-year-old girl with rhabdomyolysis. Full recovery was observed after symptomatic treatment. Nine months later she developed polymyositis.


CONCLUSIONS
Long-term follow-up is necessary for rhabdomyolysis, even in those cases with an isolated occurrence caused by viral infection.
