Severe acute inflammatory myositis and rhabdomyolysis in paediatric SARS-CoV-2-associated MIS-C (multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children).

We present the case of a 12-year-old African girl infected with SARS-CoV-2 who was admitted to a tertiary academic hospital in Johannesburg with severe acute inflammatory myositis complicated by rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy and intensive care. She also fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2021. No commercial re-use. See rights and permissions. Published by BMJ.
