Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis as well as myocarditis are considered to be rare complications of Salmonella infection. The diagnosis of these extra intestinal manifestations of enteric fever is often missed owing to the non specific symptoms. Life threatening complications of this condition make its prompt diagnosis and treatment imperative. Here we present case of a young male presenting with fever where diagnosis of enteric myocarditis with rhabdomyolysis and its prompt treatment helped in avoiding serious consequences. It serves to highlight the importance of clinical suspicion on part of the physician in providing timely diagnosis and effective treatment to the patient.
