Overview

Heat stroke must be differentiated from other disease that may cause alteration in mental status and hyperthermia including: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome, Malignant hyperthermia, Serotonin syndrome, cocaine use and sepsis.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Differentiating Heat stroke from other Diseases

Differentiation between 2 types of heat stroke (Classic vs Exertional) is based on history, clinical findings, and laboratory findings.^[7]^[8] The following table summarizes their differentiating feature.

Characteristic		Exertional Heat Stroke	Classic Heat Stroke
Age		Adults	Early childhood or elderly
Health status		Healthy and athlete	Ill and debilitate
Weather condition		Temperate or hot	Heat wave
Activity		Sustained or heavy exertion	Sedentary
Medications or drug use		Ergogenic aids, ecstasy, cocaine	Diuretics, β-blockers, antihistamines, antidepressants
Sweating		Present	Abscent
Laboratory findings	Acid-base disturbance	Metabolic acidosis	Mixed metabolic and respiratory acidosis
	Calcium	↓	Nl
	Potassium	↓ or ↑	Nl
	Phosphate	↑	↓
	Blood glucose	↓	↑
	Creatine kinase (CK)	↑↑↑	↑
	AST, ALT	↑↑↑	↑
Complications	Rhabdomyolysis	Severe	Mild
Complications	Acute renal failure	Common (∼25%)	Uncommon (∼5%)

Differentiating Heat stroke from other Diseases that may cause hyperthermia and altered mental status

Heat stroke must be differentiated from other conditions that may cause hyperthermia and altered mental status.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Disease	Symptoms and signs	Labs	Other findings
Heat stroke	CNS dysfunction (disorientation, headache, irrational behavior, irritability, emotional instability, confusion, coma, or seizure) Hypotension and tachycardia Hyperventilation Weakness, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating, dehydration.	Electrolyte disturbances, increased CK, AST, and ALT	Relevant history of excessive exercise and lack of water access
Sepsis	Altered mental status (confusion, altered consciousness, coma, or seizure) Respiratory rate ≥22/minute Systolic blood pressure ≤100 mmHg	Thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis, leukopenia, elevated Cr
Malignant hyperthermia	Masseter muscle rigidity (early) Generalized muscle rigidity Sinus tachycardia Arrhythmia	Hypercarbia (PaCO2) >65 mmHg, hyperkalemia	History of receiving anaesthetic agent
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome	Change in mental status Muscle rigidity Autonomic instability (labile BP, tachypnea, profuse sweating)	Electrolyte disturbances, increased CK, LDH, ALP, AST, and ALT, leukocytosis, myoglobinuria.	Relevant history of recent use of anti-psychotics
Serotonin syndrome	Mental status changes (anxiety, agitated delirium, restlessness, and disorientation) Autonomic instability (diaphoresis, tachycardia,, hypertension, vomiting, and diarrhea) Neuromuscular hyperactivity (tremor, myoclonus, hyperreflexia, and bilateral Babinski sign)	Elevated CK, LDH, ALP, AST, and ALT	History of recent use of SSRIs, SNRIs , or MAOIs.
