  • Title: Multi-organ damage in exertional heat stroke.
    Author: Holman ND, Schneider AJ.
    Journal: Neth J Med; 1989 Aug; 35(1-2):38-43. PubMed ID: 2779693.
    Abstract:
    Exertion-induced heat stroke is a relatively rare disorder in the moderate maritime climate of The Netherlands. Serious complications of excessive physical activity rarely occur. We describe a marathon runner with multi-organ failure after exertion-induced heat stroke. The patient developed shock, diarrhoea, coma, rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, liver cell damage and disseminated intravascular coagulation but recovered completely.
