    Journal Article

    We report a case of acute rhabdomyolysis associated with acute intravenous cocaine intoxication in an asymptomatic HIV-positive young man and discuss the possible pathogenetic mechanisms. Recent cocaine use must be considered among the causes of acute rhabdomyolysis without obvious precipitating factors in our country too. The characteristically uncollaborative attitude of habitual drug users may make differential diagnosis very difficult to establish.
