Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health emergency. COVID-19 is most well known for affecting the respiratory system, although it can also result in several extrapulmonary manifestations. Limited literature is available regarding rhabdomyolysis in COVID-19. We report four cases of rhabdomyolysis in COVID-19 patients. High index of suspicion is required for the appropriate clinical scenario to recognize this life-threatening situation so that complications can be avoided.
Keywords: atypical presentation; coronavirus; coronavirus disease; covid 19; rhabdomyolysis; sars-cov-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus -2); viral myositis.
