Abstract
A male patient presented with malaria tertiana due to Plasmodium vivax. He developed a severe attack of rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure. The patient was treated successfully with chloroquine medication. After complete recovery further muscle study revealed a deficiency of myoadenyl deaminase (MAD). The infection with P. vivax probably has been the triggering factor in the process of muscle necrosis, because the patient also had MAD deficiency.Entities:
