    Author: Jolly BT, Talbot-Stern J.
    Journal: Am J Emerg Med; 1995 Nov; 13(6):644-6. PubMed ID: 7575803.
    Abstract:
    A 33-year-old man presented with rhabdomyolysis with bilateral forearm pain and a profoundly elevated creatine phosphokinase. The cause of his illness appears to be computer keyboard overuse soon after a viral illness. This is the first case report directly linking rhabdomyolysis with keyboard overuse.
