A Case of Rhabdomyolysis in Eosinophilic Polymyositis / 대한신장학회잡지

ABSTRACT

A 45-year-old man presented with muscle pain, skin nodules and persistent hypereosinophilia over a period of 4 months. Laboratory data excluded the diagnosis of trichinosis or any other parasite infection. The patient's course of the disease over the 9 months was compatible with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. In a muscle biopsy, eosinophilic and lymphoplasma cells are predominantly infiltrated. Authors report a case of rhabdomyolysis due to eosinophilic polymyositis in idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome.
