Rhabdomyolysis is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of acute HIV infection. We present a case report of a young adult male who presented with fever, myalgia, and elevated creatine phosphokinase levels, ultimately diagnosed with acute HIV infection-associated rhabdomyolysis. This case highlights the importance of considering HIV infection in the differential diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis, particularly in at-risk populations, even in the absence of typical HIV-related symptoms.
横纹肌溶解症是急性HIV感染罕见但可能危及生命的并发症。我们报告一例年轻成年男性病例,该患者出现发热、肌痛及肌酸磷酸激酶水平升高,最终被诊断为急性HIV感染相关的横纹肌溶解症。该病例强调了在横纹肌溶解症的鉴别诊断中考虑HIV感染的重要性,尤其是在高危人群中,即使没有典型的HIV相关症状。
