I went into what is known as hyperpyrexia, an extreme elevation in core body temperature.

In still other cases the symptoms resemble those which occur in extreme hyperpyrexia dependent upon overwhelming and paralysis of the nervous centres.

Later, signs of increased intra-cranial tension develop: unconsciousness deepening into coma, paralysis of ocular muscles, rapid pulse, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, and sometimes hyperpyrexia.

I believe that it has also been fashionable in the so called cases of hyperpyrexia to immerse the patient in a bath varying in temperature from 60° to 98° Fahr.

The important pathological condition to be combated is the hyperpyrexia, and not the cold stage, as in intermittents.
