“…Covid-19 Muscle damage is believed to be by direct myocyte invasion by the virus, collateral damage of myocytes caused by cytokine storm, and/or direct damage by viral toxins [14,15]. There have been reports of recurrent viral myositis and rhabdomyolysis [16,17]. In the two cited here, myositis seemed to have been caused by different viruses in the same patient.…”

SARS-CoV-2 is a strain of coronavirus that caused the Covid Pandemic which started in December 2019. The disease has caused many deaths among sufferers whereas others have remained asymptomatic. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, and myalgia.We present a case of a covid-19 myositis leading to Rhabdomyolysis in a middle-aged Black British Female.A 65-year-old female with a history of previous viral rhabdomyolysis, previous post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, and hypertension, presented to the hospital with fever, sore throat, myalgia, and reddish-brown urine. Her Creatinine Kinase was markedly elevated. Her urine dip was positive for blood and protein. Urine microscopy revealed trace red and white cells. Magnetic Resonance imaging showed features suggestive of myositis. She tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on a Polymerase chain reaction test. She only had mild respiratory disease. She was managed with liberal intravenous and oral fluids. Her renal function remained fine throughout admission. She was discharged home on paracetamol and follow-up 36 days after. Blood samples taken on the follow-up visit showed normalization of creatinine kinase.Very high Creatinine Kinase (CK) levels occurred in the absence of severe respiratory disease. Also, CK levels did not correlate with the C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels.

The first case was in a 2-year-old previously healthy boy who had RSV diagnosed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in a nasopharyngeal sample [ 11 ]. The patient was referred to the hospital after 10 days of nonspecific symptoms including diarrhea, sore throat, fever, generalized myalgia, and weakness.…”
