Abstract
The authors report a life-threatening, acute asthmatic attack in a young man, which was followed by rhabdomyolysis and acute myoglobinuria. A discussion of the possible rôle of the pharmacological treatment of asthma in initiating muscle damage is included, based on a review of the current literature.Keywords
