abstract={Rhabdomyolysis caused by diquat is relatively rare. We herein report a case of acute diquat poisoning resulting in acute rhabdomyolysis. A 22-year-old female with anuria presented to the emergency department after intentional ingestion of a commercial herbicide containing diquat 100ml three days later. Acute rhabdomyolysis is the earliest manifestation. First-aid measures including gastric lavage, urine alkalinization, hemoperfusion and continuous renal replacement therapy were performed. After 15 days of hospitalization, she got a comprehensive rehabilitation and was discharged.<b> </b>Diquat intoxication should be suspected in patient presenting an acute rhabdomyolysis. The characteristics of diquat intoxication are complex. Diquat should undergo strict management.},
