Abstract A 78-year-old woman had increased activities of creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) and CK-MB isoenzyme in her serum, associated with severe theophylline intoxication. The time course for CK-MB activity was similar to that from an acute myocardial infarction. Clinical findings, however, including electrocardiograms, did not support the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. We suggest caution in interpreting CK-MB results in severe theophylline intoxication.
