SARS-CoV-2 Infection with Associated Rhabdomyolysis and Probable Myocarditis

SARS-CoV-2 Infection with Associated Rhabdomyolysis and Probable Myocarditis

Franco Murillo, Gastón Ramos, Jose Luis Del Pozo, Luis Manuel Valdez, Jorge Zagaceta

We describe a patient with SARS-CoV-2 and severe pneumonia who required mechanical ventilation and developed associated rhabdomyolysis with probable myocardial involvement as evidenced by cardiac enzyme abnormalities and echocardiographic findings. Repeat testing should be done in cases highly suspicious for SARS-CoV-2 as initial molecular tests may be negative, as in our case.
