          Abstract

          What is already known about this topic?

          A common food that has been associated globally with rhabdomyolysis syndrome is freshwater fish including freshwater cod, barracuda, buffalo fish, and pomfret. However, cases caused by freshwater fish have been relatively rare in China.

          What is added by this report?

          In this investigation, a cluster of five cases of rhabdomyolysis syndrome were found that were linked to consumption of carp testes and eggs, one of the first carp-related rhabdomyolysis syndrome cases reported in China.

          What are the implications for public health practice?

          To avoid similar incidents, food safety education for local residents needs to be prioritized and implemented. In addition, case monitoring of rhabdomyolysis syndrome should be strengthened through more thorough collection of epidemiological data and monitoring of pathogenic foods.
