title: A rare cause of rhabdomyolysis from Brucella: a case report.
abstract: Rhabdomyolysis is caused by myocyte necrosis, which results in the release of muscular cell contents into the circulation and extracellular fluid. We present a case of rhabdomyolysis due to brucella infection without any complications. Following the treatment for brucella, creatinine kinase level was significantly reduced. Rhabdomyolysis associated with brucella is rare in children.
