A case of fulminant rhabdomyolysis occurring 4 months after allogeneic BMT for CML is reported. The patient developed rhabdomyolysis following the empiric institution of antibacterial and anti-tuberculous medication. His inpatient course was complicated by the development of acute anuric renal failure and a severe myopathy. With aggressive supportive care, both of these complications resolved, making this patient the only reported survivor of rhabdomyolysis occurring after BMT.
