ABSTRACT
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.
