Abstract

Glycyrrhizin, the main ingredient of licorice, may evoke severe hypokalemia and muscle paralysis by its mineralocorticoid effects. We present a 78-year-old man who developed subacute flaccid quadriparesis with a high creatine kinase (CK) level, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, and low plasma renin activity after ingesting licorice daily for two years. A muscle biopsy revealed vacuolar degeneration of myofibers. This case suggests that glycyrrhizin (licorice)-induced hypokalemic myopathy must be included in the differential diagnosis of a patient with generalized muscle weakness and hypokalemia.
