Abstract:

Acute rhabdomyolysis results from susceptible persons eating quail during the migrating season. The etiology is unknown. Muscular exercise is an important precipitating factor. In this paper the literature on this and related rhabdomyolytic and hemolytic syndromes is reviewed, ranging from biblical times to the present day. It seems likely that the responsible agent present in the quail is of dietary origin and that susceptibility to poisoning in man is based upon an inherited biochemical defect. In view of the importance and seriousness of acute exertional rhabdomyolysis among military personnel, all types of rhabdomyolytic illness are thought to be worthy of close attention. Author
