A heat stroke (HS) is a medical emergency that can occur when the body is unable to cool itself down after overexertion in a hot condition. It is characterized by a high body temperature (usually greater than 40.5 degrees Celsius or 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit) and altered mental status. HS can cause a wide range of physiological changes in the body, including damage to the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, and muscles. In the case report presented, the patient was a 40-year-old man who developed severe HS. His condition rapidly deteriorated, and he developed multi-organ failure, involving the brain, liver, kidneys, muscles, and hematological system. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and intubated, despite aggressive treatment. After an 18-day stay in the ICU, the patient achieved full recovery except for myopathy, which necessitated physiotherapy.
中暑（HS）是一种医疗急症，当身体在炎热环境中过度劳累后无法自行降温时就可能发生。其特征是体温过高（通常高于40.5摄氏度或104.9华氏度）以及精神状态改变。中暑会导致身体发生一系列生理变化，包括对大脑、心脏、肝脏、肾脏和肌肉的损害。在给出的病例报告中，患者是一名40岁男性，患上了严重中暑。他的病情迅速恶化，出现了多器官功能衰竭，累及大脑、肝脏、肾脏、肌肉和血液系统。尽管进行了积极治疗，患者仍被收入重症监护病房（ICU）并插管。在ICU住院18天后，患者除了需要物理治疗的肌病外，实现了完全康复。
