	Facial Blushing \| Hyperpyrexia \| Red Burning Face Symptoms and Treatment
		Hyperpyrexia (feelings of burning or tingling) is commonly associated with blushing and is actually much more debilitating to the individual than the mere appearance of blushing on the skin.
		This condition of hyperpyrexia associated with facial blushing is little understood and not typically recognized by many physicians.
		Many patients have described the feeling they experience from hyperpyrexia as "hot flash or burning." This sensation envelops their face/head/neck to such an extent that they seek seclusion to "cool off".

		Malignant hyperpyrexia is a particular condition caused by the breakdown of muscle following its over-excitation, in response to certain stimuli, such as extreme exercise (especially in a high ambient temperature), intense and prolonged convulsions, anesthesia, fever or some drugs, such as cocaine, alcohol and aspirin.
		Malignant hyperpyrexia is accompanied by abnormal heart rhythms (cardiac arrhythmia) and kidney failure.
		The susceptibility to malignant hyperpyrexia is an autosomal dominant inherited trait.

	hyperpyrexia - General Practice Notebook
		Hyperpyrexia describes an excessive elevation of body temperature above the average normal temperature.
		It may be caused by the vast majority of agents which precipitate a pyrexia of unknown origin, however, relatively common causes include:
		Rarer examples include the syndrome of malignant hyperpyrexia and thyrotoxic crisis.

		Propanolol may be used for treating symptomatic tachyarrhythmia; the dosage for adults is 1 mg given intravenously for one minute and repeated every five minutes (maximum dose, 5 mg); the dosage for children is 0.01 to 0.1 mg/kg, (maximum dose, 1 mg).
		Cooling measures (eg, sponging or a cooling blanket) may be used to treat hyperpyrexia, and intravenous fluid resuscitation may prevent this complication.

	Hyperpyrexia - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		In medicine, hyperpyrexia is an excessive and unusual elevation of body temperature above 42 °C (107.6°F), or high fever (also called a hyperthermia).
		Some of the more common causes of hyperpyrexia include excessive exposure to heat or the sun (also called heat hyperpyrexia, a part of heatstroke), bacterial septicemia (a generalized septical infection of the blood, some viral infections, such as mononucleosis, and a thyrotoxic crisis (in hyperthyroidism).
		Malignant hyperpyrexia is accompanied by abnormal heart rhythms (cardiac arrhythmia) and kidney failure.

	Prospective Evaluation of the Risk of Serious Bacterial Infection in Children Who Present to the Emergency Department ...
		Of the 60 with negative cultures and no other diagnosis to account for their fever, 13 had a CXR with a lobar infiltrate compatible with pneumonia, and 11 were diagnosed with otitis media by physical examination (including 2 with both pneumonia and otitis media).
		The immune response to respiratory virus infections may indeed predispose to subsequent viral infections.13 Whether clinically stable patients with hyperpyrexia and a positive rapid viral test should routinely receive antibiotics is unclear, but it certainly seems prudent to continue to treat all children with a lobar infiltrate on CXR with antibiotics.
		We advise treatment with antibiotics for all children with hyperpyrexia who do not have a confirmed viral illness and for all children with hyperpyrexia and a confirmed viral illness who are ill enough to require hospitalization.

	MDMA toxicity presenting with severe hyperpyrexia: a case report.
		Ingestion of even small amounts of MDMA ('ecstasy') by a small subset of the population may result in a potentially fatal clinical syndrome of severe hyperpyrexia, cardiovascular collapse, coagulopathy, rhabdomyolysis and multiple organ failure.
		Rapid and aggressive temperature control is of utmost importance in the management of these patients.
		We report a case of MDMA toxicity presenting with severe hyperpyrexia (43 degrees C) who survived after a rapid reduction in temperature to 36 degrees C within 60 minutes following active surface cooling, cooled (approximately 4 degrees C) intravenous solutions, urinary and gastric lavage solutions and replacement fluids for continuous veno-venous diafiltration.

		Because of excessive fluid loss, this disorder gives adequate warning by increasing fatigue, weakness, anxiety, and drenching sweats, leading to circulatory collapse with slow thready pulse; low or imperceptible blood pressure; cold, pale, clammy skin; and disorientation followed by a shock-like unconsciousness.
		Exposure to high ambient temperature may lead either to excessive fluid loss and dehypovolemic shock (heat exhaustion) or to failure of heat mechanisms and dangerous hyperpyrexia (heatstroke), an abrupt onset of heatstroke is sometimes preceded by prodromal headache, vertigo, and fatigue.
		Circulatory collapse may precede death; after hours of extreme hyperpyrexia, survivors are likely to have permanent brain damage.

	Malignant Hyperthermia In The Indian Subcontinent
		Classic malignant hyperpyrexia, typically heralded by hyperthermia, tachypnoea, tachycardia and muscle rigidity along with rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria, has surprisingly never been reported from the Indian sub-continent, neither as published case reports or as presentations in clinical meetings or conferences.
		Patient felt hot to touch through the drapes, and a temperature probe inserted in the nasopharynx revealed a temperature of 39°C. Since malignant hyperpyrexia is not reported from India or neighbouring countries, and malaria or dengue is more often seen in these parts, a presumptive diagnosis of malaria/dengue was made.
		Since this test is not being done there, they along with the elder brother have been given laminated cards, mentioning their disposition to have malignant hyperpyrexia, and advised to mention this to a doctor, when necessary.

		buse of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA,Ecstasy) is still growing over the last years and reports of severe or even fatal complications, such as arrhythmias, hyperpyrexia, rhabdomyolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), acute renal or liver failure or brain oedema are also increasing.
		We report the case of a 21-year-old male who took a suicidal overdose of MDMA and subsequently developed severe hyperpyrexia (>43 degrees C/109.4 degrees F), rhabdomyolysis with an initial myoglobin level of 88,000 &mgr;g/l, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and beginning renal and liver failure.
		To support renal function and diuresis we increased the intravenous fluid supply up to 5 l per day which led to a raised elimination of myoglobin, urea nitrogen and creatinine within 1 week.
