Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: An adolescent male developed severe rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, overt disseminated intravascular coagulation, and respiratory fluid overload after extensive stray-dog mauling. The course reflected overlapping traumatic, inflammatory, and infectious mechanisms. He recovered without renal replacement therapy through source control, individualized antimicrobials, conservative renal support, and timely transition to de-resuscitation.
