Rhabdomyolysis is a severe, potentially fatal disorder resulting from muscle necrosis and the subsequent release of intracellular muscle components into the bloodstream. Trauma is the predominant etiology of rhabdomyolysis. Infections account for 5%-10% of all rhabdomyolysis cases and may result from endotoxins, direct muscle invasion or tissue hypoxia. While Influenza and Legionella infections are most linked numerous other viral, bacterial, fungal and protozoal diseases can induce rhabdomyolysis, resulting in detrimental consequences. Prompt recognition of the underlying infection is essential for the effective care of rhabdomyolysis and the prevention of impacts, particularly acute renal injury. Rhabdomyolysis associated with infections has been minimally examined. This article examines the current understanding of rhabdomyolysis linked to infections and its clinical implications.
