Hyperpyrexia, however, is attended by actual, as well as by potential dangers, as is usually the case with any powerful therapeutic agent. Tissue injury from prolonged or excessive exposure to heat has long been recognized. Two of the most constant pathologic findings under such circumstances have been acute liver damage and hemorrhage. In replies to a questionnaire regarding fever therapy, which was sent to physicians by the Council on Physical Therapy, "several reported instances of cerebral hemorrhage."1Five fatalities have been cited by Hartman and Major2, 3and...Bibliography1.
