description The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is having serious medical, social, and economic impacts worldwide. COVID-19 may lead to a variety of complications, including rhabdomyolysis. Although rhabdomyolysis is a rare complication, it can lead to severe kidney damage. Recent studies suggest that rhabdomyolysis caused by SARS-CoV-2 is more common in middle-aged and older men with severe COVID-19. Herein we report a case of rhabdomyolysis in a young woman with moderate COVID-19. She had a habit of muscle training. She presented with moderate COVID-19 and acute rhabdomyolysis that required a large volume of fluid infusion in addition to dexamethasone and remdesivir. Clinicians should pay attention to the development of rhabdomyolysis in patients with COVID-19, especially those with a habit of strenuous exercise or muscle training, even if they are young and have moderate COVID-19.
