dc.description.abstractThe authors describe herein the sixth lupus case that evolved with rhabdomyolysis. A 36-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus was admitted to our hospital with malaise, myalgia, dysphagia, fever, preserved muscle strength, leukocytosis (15,600 cells), and increased creatine kinase of 1,358 IU/L that reached 75,000 IU/L in few days. She denied the use of myotoxic drugs and alcohol. Urine 1 showed false positive for hemoglobinuria (myoglobin) without erythrocytes in the sediment, confirming the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. Secondary causes were excluded. She was treated with hyperhydration and alkalinization of urine. Despite treatment, the patient developed pulmonary congestion and she died. The authors also review in this article rhabdomyolysis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
