Hyperthermia refers to a group of heat-related conditions characterized by an abnormally high body temperature of more than 100.4°F (38°C). It is the opposite of hypothermia.

The condition occurs when the body’s heat-regulation system becomes overwhelmed by outside factors, causing a person’s internal temperature to rise.

Hyperthermia is considered separate from conditions where internal body sources, such as infection, heat-regulating problems, and adverse drug reactions or overdoses cause a raised body temperature.

In humans, core body temperature ranges from 95.9°F to 99.5°F[1] during the day, or 35.5°C to 37.5°C. In contrast, people with some level of hyperthermia have a body temperature of more than 100.4°F (38°C).

The symptoms of hyperthermia depend on the stage it has reached or how much the body is overheated...
