Résumé
Neurologic and muscular damage associated with acute hepatitis due to hepatitis E virus (HEV) are rare and may be underdiagnosed. We report the case of a 56-year-old man, presenting with flaccid tetraparesis secondary to an acute rhabdomyolysis induced by acute E virus hepatitis. He fully recovered after one month under supportive treatment. Rare cases of acute rhabdomyolysis induced by HEV infection have been reported in the literature. We discuss the potential adjuvant role of statin treatment in our patient. Unexplained acute neurological conditions should prompt the search for HEV infection.
