Abstract:
Viral encephalitis is infectious diseases caused by many kinds virus which infects the brain and produces a series of clinical manifestations,it is an common disease in children.Rhabdomyolysis is a sort of syndrome characterized by striated muscle necrosis and the release of intracellular muscle constituents into the circulation,most notably high level of creatine phosphokinase and myoglobin,and myoglobi-nuria,which is often complicated with acute renal failure.It was reported that rhabdomyolysis could be associated with many viral encephalidities,the clinician should pay attention to this condition because it was not rare especially,when hematuria appearred in the course of viral encephalidities,serum creatine phosphate kinase,serum and urine myohemoglobin should be detected to identify whether rhabdomyolysis was existed.Once the diagnosis was confirmed,it should be treated with fluid administration and basification in order to avoid acute renal failure,and to improve prognosis on these patients.This study reviewed the literature on viral encephalidities and rhabdomyolysis.
