However, other rarer presentations are reported nowadays. Case Presentations. We reported three cases of COVID-19-infected patients with rhabdomyolysis as well as two other rarer simultaneous signs, including hypocalcemia (Case 1) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (Case 2).

CONCLUSION: Despite the fact that rhabdomyolysis is an infrequent manifestation of COVID-19, high clinical suspicion is required for proper diagnosis and management of this disease as well as other concurrent rarer presentations, including hypocalcemia and DKA for the prevention of further complications.
