Presentation most consistent with heat stroke, which leads to elevated temperature and CNS dysfunction +/- other organ damage in a patient participating in strenuous activity in hot/humid weather and is caused by impaired thermoregulation
Key idea: Managed with aggressive cooling and fluid/electrolyte correction with NO role for antipyretic therapy
Contrast with heat exhaustion, which leads to elevated temperature with no CNS dysfunction and is caused by inadequate salt and water replacement
