Mild rhabdomyolysis in a child with fever and "hematuria".

Rhabdomyolysis represents a life-threatening condition, which results in release of cellular contents (myoglobin, enzymes, and electrolytes) into the plasma. We report a pediatric patient with mild rhabdomyolysis who had a favorable outcome. A 3-year-old girl had been ill for 2 days with high fever, anorexia, pain in both thighs, and passage of dark-red urine.
