| Abstract | ||
| Background: Rhabdomyolysis is a medical condition ranges from an asymptomatic illness to a life-threatening condition. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin E1 analogue used for induction of abortion in both early and advanced stages of pregnancy. In this report, we show a completely different cause of rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury with good outcome. Case presentation: We present a case of 33- year-old Egyptian lady, pregnant in her 2nd month; she planned for abortion, so she received 2 tablets of misoprostol (400 mcg) and 4 cans of boiled cola per day for 5 days. On the 6th day; she presented to emergency room (ER) by vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, jaundice and dark urine. Conclusion: This is a rare case of rhabdomyolysis of unclear cause, which may be secondary to misoprostol toxicity induced by boiled cola or direct effect of frequent used boiled cola. .
