Cytomegalovirus has not been reported as a cause. We report a case of rhabdomyolysis, myositis, and myoglobinuria associated with cytomegalovirus.A 21-year-old black unmarried heterosexual man noted, 5 days before admission, the onset of diffuse myalgia accompanied by chills and fever but without diaphoresis, cough, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, photophobia, joint stiffness, arthralgias, or skin rashes....References1.
