Background:
Hyperthermia and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) are
the main characteristics of heatstroke and COVID-19. Differentiating
between these illnesses is crucial during a summer COVID-19 pandemic,
but cases of heatstroke comorbid with COVID-19 are rarely reported.
Case description: We report the first case of heatstroke comorbid with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in a 52-year-old male. After receiving intravenous antibiotics, organ protection measures, and treatment for coagulation disorders, his fever and coma resolved. However, he developed dyspnea and cerebral hemorrhage after several days. This patient experienced a multi-pathogen pulmonary infection and an intractable coagulopathy that ultimately resulted in MODS and death.
Keywords: COVID‐19; cerebral hemorrhage; coagulation disorder; heatstroke; infection.
