L'hyperthermie doit être distinguée de la fièvre. Si ces deux phénomènes sont caractérisés par une élévation de la température de l'organisme, ils n'ont pas la même origine. L'hyperthermie est due à une accumulation de chaleur et constitue un phénomène anormal. La fièvre est quant à elle due à un déplacement du point d'équilibre thermique et constitue un mécanisme de défense de l'organisme. 4, record 1, French, - fi%C3%A8vre
