Heat stroke (HS) can cause several physiological changes in the body. In its most severe form, it can cause multi-organ failure including encephalopathy, circulatory shock, liver failure, renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and rhabdomyolysis among others. HS is a preventable condition; however, it can be life-threatening in severe forms. We present a case of HS in a 54-year-old male, with rapidly progressive multi-organ failure and a fatal outcome along with a brief literature review.
中暑(HS)可导致身体发生多种生理变化。在最严重的情况下,它可导致多器官功能衰竭,包括脑病、循环性休克、肝功能衰竭、肾功能衰竭、弥散性血管内凝血以及横纹肌溶解等。中暑是一种可预防的病症;然而,严重形式的中暑可能会危及生命。我们报告一例54岁男性中暑病例,该病例伴有快速进展的多器官功能衰竭及致命结局,并进行简要文献综述。
