His leukocyte count was 14.6 109/L; his lactate dehydrogenase concentration was 8200 U/L; his aspartate aminotransferase level was 2601 U/L; and his creatine kinase concentration was 650 000 U/L. Only twice previously have higher creatine kinase elevations been reported in virus-associated rhabdomyolysis [1, 2].Table 1.
