: We report the history of a seven year-old male boy with cough and fever, who developed rhabdomyolysis concomitant with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The association between this organism and the muscular injury is rarely described in paediatric patients. This case then thus emphasizes that even seemingly mild M. pneumoniae airway infections may be complicated by invalidating neuromuscular sequelae.

Abstract
: We report the history of a seven year-old male boy with cough and fever, who developed rhabdomyolysis concomitant with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The association between this organism and the muscular injury is rarely described in paediatric patients. This case then thus emphasizes that even seemingly mild M. pneumoniae airway infections may be complicated by invalidating neuromuscular sequelae.File in questo prodotto:
