title: Primary HIV infection presenting with acute rhabdomyolysis.
abstract: In several reported cases, rhabdomyolysis has been a manifestation of primary infection with HIV. However, other potential causes of rhabdomyolysis were either present or not excluded in most of those cases. We describe a patient in whom acute rhabdomyolysis was a presenting manifestation of primary HIV infection, and in whom other plausible causes of rhabdomyolysis were reasonably excluded.
