Abstract
Hyperthermia, with no signs of any underlying infection, may occur in the course of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, fatal catatonia, heat stroke, or malignant hyperthermia. We describe hyperthermia as a complication after discontinuance of antiparkinsonian treatment with levodopa/carbidopa and bromocriptine. Impaired nigrostriatal, hypothalamic, and mesolimbic dopaminergic functions could be involved in pathogenesis.Keywords
