ABSTRACT
Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a life-threatening entity characterized by elevated core temperature with potential for multiorgan dysfunction. EHS-related rhabdomyolysis usually occurs in the early phase. We report a boy athlete with EHS-related rhabdomyolysis, which recurred 15 and 79 days after the initial event. This case indicates that EHS can cause recurrences of rhabdomyolysis along with persistent symptoms, which could hamper the return to daily activity. Children with EHS, particularly athletes, may be at risk for recurrent rhabdomyolysis.
