Development of rhabdomyolysis in a child after norovirus gastroenteritis

Abstract: BackgroundIn children, the most significant cause of rhabdomyolysis or muscle breakdown is viral infection. However, there are no reports that norovirus, a gastroenteric virus that commonly infects children, specifically causes rhabdomyolysis. Here, we report the first pediatric case of norovirus-associated rhabdomyolysis.Case presentationThe patient, a 2-year-old boy with fever, diarrhea, and vomiting, was referred to our hospital with dysstasia and transaminitis. He was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis. Additio… Show more

“…In the U.S., they are responsible for approximately 20 million infections that cost the national economy $2.8 billion in health care costs and missed worker productivity [ 2 ]. In developing countries, HNoVs are estimated to cause 200,000 deaths in children under 5 years of age and are also increasingly associated with devastating infections in immunocompromised hosts [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Despite this large disease burden, relatively little is known about the pathogenesis of this virus.…”

“…Influenza A and B, enteroviruses, and human immunodeficiency virus have been most implicated in precipitating rhabdomyolysis. Less commonly, it can be triggered by herpesviruses, Chinkungunya, and norovirus 8,9,10,11,12 . Infection with another coronavirus, SARS-CoV-1, has also been associated with rhabdomyolysis, during the 2002-2004 outbreak, but few cases were reported in the literature 13 .…”
