Muscle biopsy showed endomysial inflammatory infiltrates, mostly composed of CD8 and CD4 lymphocytes; myofibers necrosis mostly ventral portion of myofibers; residual granular microcalcifications; and terminal complement complex deposits that outline necrotic myofibers, all features compatible with necrotic myopathy and early rhabdomyolysis (Figure 2).
