English abstract
Enterovirus is not a common cause of myositis and rhabdomyolysis in children. We
report a case of a two-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with disseminated
enterovirus infection complicated by hepatitis, myositis, and rhabdomyolysis. The case was
managed successfully with supportive care and high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins.
