  • Title: Hyperthermia after discontinuance of levodopa and bromocriptine therapy: impaired dopamine receptors a possible cause.
    Author: Figà-Talamanca L, Gualandi C, Di Meo L, Di Battista G, Neri G, Lo Russo F.
    Journal: Neurology; 1985 Feb; 35(2):258-61. PubMed ID: 3969217.
    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.
