We have described a 13-year-old girl with idiopathic rhabdomyolysis, myoglobinuria, and nonoliguric renal failure. The biochemical abnormalities and enzyme and isoenzyme values and their interrelationship to the hosptial course are stressed. We believe our patient's condition had marked similarities to the toxic-shock syndrome. The case illustrates the importance of the rapid recognition of myoglobinuria so that its potentially fatal biochemical abnormalities may be expeditiously identified and treated.
