    Abstract:
    A 50-year-old man developed myoglobinuric renal failure after taking pyrazinamide. Both serum and urine myoglobin levels were elevated and tubulo-interstitial nephropathy was demonstrated on renal biopsy. After pyrazinamide was discontinued, the myoglobin concentrations were normalized and his renal function ameliorated. The rhabdomyolysis was considered to be caused by pyrazinamide. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of rhabdomyolysis associated with pyrazinamide.
