Abstract

Daptomycin use is a known cause of rhabdomyolysis; its role in liver injury is less certain. We report a case of daptomycin-induced rhabdomyolysis with liver injury. This report indicates a role for liver function monitoring while receiving daptomycin, as well as the importance of promptly considering drug toxicities in acute and emergency care settings.
