Hyperpyrexia is an extreme elevation of core body temperature, typically defined as above 41°C (105.8°F). It is a medical emergency often associated with severe infections, heat stroke, or neurological conditions. Unlike regular fever, hyperpyrexia can cause cellular damage, organ failure, and neurological complications if not rapidly treated. Management involves aggressive cooling measures and addressing the underlying cause.
