Hypercalcaemia-induced rhinovirus has only been reported in a single study in children. Here, we report a case of hypercalcaemia in an adult who tested positive for rhinovirus. This patient underwent an extensive evaluation of hypercalcaemia, and it was found to be mediated by an increase in 1,25 hydroxy-vitamin D that could not be attributed to a cause. Their hypercalcaemia responded to standard treatment with intravascular expansion, bisphosphonates and calcitonin. Serum 1,25 OH vitamin D levels returned to normal with recovery from rhinovirus infection.
