Cited in Scopus: 0We read with interest the article by Kamura et al. about a 57-year-old, previously healthy male patient, who presented with leg pain 2 weeks after the first dose of the Moderna vaccine (Kamura et al., 2022). Four weeks after the vaccination, he was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis upon the clinical presentation (muscle pain), elevated creatine-kinase (maximal value 74,804 U/l [n, 60-287 U/l]), and the muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Kamura et al., 2022). During the following course, the patient additionally developed multiorgan infarctions and, finally, died despite intensive diagnostic and therapeutic approaches (Kamura et al., 2022).
