Abstract:
Anesthesia-induced rhabdomyolysis in infancy may represent an unsuspected Duchenne dystrophy. In order to establish the diagnosis of this genetic disease more definitively, a dystrophin test is a requisite following the conventional creatine kinase test and light and electron microscopies of the muscle biopsy.
