Abstract

An 18-year old man receiving treatment for HIV infection presents with severe myalgias. His serum creatinine is 2.1 mg/dl, with a creatinine phosphokinase of 7,400U/L. His urinalysis is strongly positive for blood on dipstick, but he has only two to four red blood cells per high-power field.
