Abstract
A boy with recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis and stunted growth is described. Fetal movements were few and the boy was small for gestational age. He always experienced easy fatigability, and he noted bouts of pigmenturia associated with episodes of considerable malaise. The change in color of the urine was caused by myoglobin. An electromyogram was myopathic. CPK rose during 60 minutes mild exercise. Prolonged moderate exercise could not be performed. Histopathological examination of muscle biopsy revealed an increase in the number of 11C fibres (20%). Electronmicroscopy revealed the wavy outline of a number of fibres and hypertrophy of sarcoplasmic reticulum elements. No cause for the stunted growth could be detected.
期刊介绍：
The European Journal of Pediatrics (EJPE) is a leading peer-reviewed medical journal which covers the entire field of pediatrics. The editors encourage authors to submit original articles, reviews, short communications, and correspondence on all relevant themes and topics.
EJPE is particularly committed to the publication of articles on important new clinical research that will have an immediate impact on clinical pediatric practice. The editorial office very much welcomes ideas for publications, whether individual articles or article series, that fit this goal and is always willing to address inquiries from authors regarding potential submissions. Invited review articles on clinical pediatrics that provide comprehensive coverage of a subject of importance are also regularly commissioned.
The short publication time reflects both the commitment of the editors and publishers and their passion for new developments in the field of pediatrics.
EJPE is active on social media (@EurJPediatrics) and we invite you to participate.
EJPE is the official journal of the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) and publishes guidelines and statements in cooperation with the EAP.
