  • Title: Rhabdomyolysis in the military: recognizing late-onset very long-chain acyl Co-A dehydrogenase deficiency.
    Author: Hoffman JD, Steiner RD, Paradise L, Harding CO, Ding L, Strauss AW, Kaplan P.
    Journal: Mil Med; 2006 Jul; 171(7):657-8. PubMed ID: 16895136.
    Abstract:
    Very long-chain acyl Co-A dehydrogenase deficiency, an inborn error of lipid metabolism, is commonly thought of as a disease of infancy or early childhood. However, several cases of late-onset very long-chain acyl Co-A dehydrogenase have been reported. This report of two military men who survived basic training before their disease presentation broadens the spectrum of late-onset disease, presents two previously unreported mutations, and demonstrates the fine line between athletic, active lifestyle and severe disease presentation.
