Critical illness poly-neuropathy following severe hyperpyrexia

P T Wilmshurst et al. QJM. 1995 May.

Abstract

Two patients developed critical illness polyneuropathy after severe hyperpyrexia. Fever was secondary to a phaeochromocytoma in one patient and sepsis in the other. These observations suggest that high fever may be one possible aetiology of critical illness polyneuropathy.
