Abstract Currently, the most useful clinical laboratory aid in establishing the carrier state of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is to determine creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) activity in the plasma. The considerable overlap between plasma creatine kinase activities of controls and of carriers at the childbearing age contributes appreciable difficulty to genetic counseling of potential carriers. The consistent failure of lymphocyte cap formation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients and carriers in this study suggests a valuable tool for the confirmation of the carrier state.

Rhabdomyolysis is an acute life-threatening condition that can occur in childhood secondary to many causes. The authors report the case of a 3-year-old male child who presented with acute rhabdomyolysis. The peak plasma creatine kinase level was extremely high. The 2 main causes of rhabdomyolysis in childhood are viral myositis and trauma, which can sometimes lead to acute renal failure. The highest creatine kinase levels reported in the literature so far was a 6-digit level in 2014 case report. In this study, the authors report the case of a 7-digit creatine kinase level in a child secondary to viral myositis who did not require renal dialysis.
