Elevated creatine phosphokinase (684 mU/ml) and creatine phosphokinase-MB (3.5%, 23.9 mU/ml) were observed in a 66 year old female with acute laryngitis. The patient had received L-thyroxine because of hypothyroidism for 10 years and her T3 and TSH levels were normal. Acute myocardial infarction was denied by repeated EKG findings. The mechanisms of the enzyme abnormality were discussed.
