Objectives: SARS-CoV-2 infection ("COVID-19") and the hypoxemia that has attended some cases may predispose to rhabdomyolysis. We sought to identify reported cases of COVID-19-associated rhabdomyolysis, examining concurrent risk factors (RFs) and mortality outcomes.
Methods: We searched PubMed for articles conveying individual-level information on COVID-19-associated rhabdomyolysis, published between January 2020 and July 2022, with an English-language abstract.

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition characterized by the destruction of skeletal muscle cells with the release of myoglobin and creatine kinase into the blood. Viral infections such as influenza and Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) have been associated with rhabdomyolysis with varying degrees of morbidity and mortality. We present the case of a male in his early thirties who was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection who developed excessively high creatine kinase levels, peaking at 1,650,000 U/L.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Although coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) affects every population group, the sports community and athletes require special consideration of the effects on cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neurologic, and respiratory systems. A comprehensive understanding of imaging indications, findings, and features of COVID-19 supports appropriate imaging utilization and effective patient management and treatment.
