Haemorrhagic shock encephalopathy syndrome presenting with myoglobinuria.

N Teig, T G Nuesslein

Children's Hospital of the Ruhr-University, Bochum, Germany.

An infant with haemorrhagic shock encephalopathy syndrome (HSES) who in addition presented with hyperpyrexia and myoglobinuria is reported. As rhabdomyolysis is a feature of heat stroke and malignant hyperthermia, the association of HSES with myoglobinuria supports the hypothesis that HSES may be a form of hypermetabolic state triggered by hyperthermia.
