History and Symptoms
- Muscle weakness. This occurs in major muscles, but also may manifest as diplopia, low cardiac output (including myonecrosis and cardiomyopathy, dysphagia, and respiratory depression due to respiratory muscle weakness).
- Mental status changes. This may range from irritability to gross confusion, delirium, and coma.
- White cell dysfunction, causing worsening of infections
- Instability of cell membrates due to low ATP levels: this may cause rhabdomyolysis with increased CPK, and also hemolytic anemia.
