BACKGROUND Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical syndrome characterized by elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin levels due to the breakdown of muscle fibers and is associated with symptoms such as myalgia, muscle swelling, and erythruria. Rhabdomyolysis has an array of potential causes, including Salmonella infection, although rare. We report 2 cases in which nontyphoidal salmonellae caused acute gastroenteritis complicated by rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuric acute kidney injury (AKI). CASE REPORT Two male patients, aged 69 years and 62 years, presented to our hospital with sudden-onset fever, abdominal pain, and watery diarrhea. At the time of admission, the patients had elevated serum CK levels (32 225 U/L and 10 590 U/L, respectively) and serum creatinine levels (4.8 mg/dL and 8.8 mg/dL, respectively). Both patients also had elevated serum myoglobin concentrations with significant myoglobinuria. They were administered fluid therapy and intravenous empirical antibiotics (cefotaxime and metronidazole for Case 1, ciprofloxacin for Case 2). The patient in Case 2 underwent 3 sessions of hemodialysis due to persistent oliguria and exacerbation of metabolic acidosis. Salmonella B (Case 1) and Salmonella C (Case 2) were isolated from blood cultures. After about 2 weeks of inpatient care, both patients showed improvement of clinical symptoms and were discharged. CONCLUSIONS Patients with acute gastroenteritis induced by Salmonella infection can develop rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuric AKI in rare cases. Timely administration of appropriate antibiotics and fluids is expected to produce a favorable prognosis. Furthermore, early initiation of hemodialysis after onset of oliguric AKI can improve clinical outcomes.
