Coronavirus Disease 2019-Induced Rhabdomyolysis.

Rhabdomyolysis is caused by necrosis of muscles and leakage of intracellular contents into blood circulation. It is most commonly caused by trauma, crush injuries, drugs, toxins, immobilization, compartment syndrome, prolonged surgical procedures, and less likely by infections. Infection-related rhabdomyolysis is rare, but not uncommon, and is seen in both viral and bacterial infections.

Albuterol-Induced Type B Lactic Acidosis: Not an Uncommon Finding.

Lactic acidosis (LA) is usually a medical emergency diagnosed by laboratory evaluation in emergency rooms (ERs) and hospital settings in critically ill patients. LA is classified into two major types based on pathophysiology; type A results from tissue hypoxia and/or hypoperfusion and type B results from deranged metabolic activity in the cells in the absence of hypoxia/hypoperfusion. Prompt evaluation and treatment are essential to prevent morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with type A LA.
