Answer:
elevated body temperature due to a break in thermoregulation that arises when a body produces or absorbs more heat than it dissipates. It is a sustained core temperature beyond the normal variance, usually greater than 39° C (102.2° F). Such elevations range from mild to extreme; body temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F) can be life-threatening. Hyperthermia differs from fever in that it is characterized by an uncontrolled increase in body temperature that exceeds the body’s ability to lose heat. The setting of the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center is unchanged. In contrast to fever in infections, hyperthermia does not involve pyrogenic molecules.
