小龍蝦、橫紋肌溶解症及哈夫病
Red swamp crayfish, rhabdomyolysis and Haff Disease

哈夫病是指患者在進食魚類24小時內出現的不明原因的橫紋肌溶解症（骨骼肌纖維溶解）。哈夫病常見的病徵是肌肉無力、肌肉疼痛、肌肉僵硬和尿液呈咖啡色，但不會出現神經系統症狀（即神經系統受影響而觸發的病徵，如麻痺和癱瘓），故有別於食用某些海產而引致的食物中毒（如麻痺性貝毒、雪卡毒、河豚毒素引起的中毒等）。
Haff disease is an unexplained rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers) in a person who ingested fish within the 24 hours before onset of illness. Haff disease typically presents with muscle weakness, muscle pain, muscle rigidity and dark brown urine. However, neurologic symptoms (i.e. symptoms caused by the nervous system such as numbness and paralysis) are absent. This is different from poisoning caused by the consumption of some seafood (e.g. paralytic shellfish poisoning, ciguatera poisoning, puffer fish poisoning, etc.).
