Exertional heat stroke: a case series

Article Abstract:

One hundred fifty cases of heat stroke among soldiers were studied to establish characteristics and trends for the illness. All those who suffered from heatstroke were active, healthy individuals. The incidence of heat stroke is small given the total soldier population. Overweight soldiers were more vulnerable than those of lower weight. Most cases occurred during summer and spring, although amount of exertion contributes more to heat stroke than climate.
