title: A rare but potentially lethal complication of dengue.
abstract: Severe rhabdomyolysis is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication of dengue fever that is not well characterised and may be underreported. With the resurgence and continued rise of dengue cases worldwide, physicians must be aware of the less common but serious complications of dengue. Here, we report a patient who presented with severe rhabdomyolysis secondary to dengue fever with a serum creatine kinase of 742 900 U/L.
