Title: SARS-CoV-2 Infection with Associated Rhabdomyolysis and Probable Myocarditis. Cord-id: nmaeyl68 Document date: 2020_1_1
ID: nmaeyl68
Snippet: 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. LEARNING POINTS SARS-CoV-2 infection may be associated with rhabdomyolysis and myocarditis.Negative results for SARS-Co
Document: 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. LEARNING POINTS SARS-CoV-2 infection may be associated with rhabdomyolysis and myocarditis.Negative results for SARS-CoV-2 despite a clinical presentation suggestive of COVID-19 disease should be treated with caution.Drugs known to cause rhabdomyolysis and myocarditis should be carefully reviewed when treating SARS-CoV-2 patients.
