    Question

    All are features of heat stroke except:

    A.

    Core body temperature > 40°C

    B.

    Altered mental status

    C.

    Excessive diaphoresis

    D.

    Hot, dry skin

    Correct option is C

    Heat stroke is failure of thermoregulation → very high temperature, CNS dysfunction, and hot dry skin due to anhidrosis. Sweating (excessive diaphoresis) is not a feature.
    Explanation of options: (a) ✔ Hyperthermia > 40°C is diagnostic of heat stroke. (b) ✔ Altered mental status (confusion, seizures, coma) is key. (c) ✘ Excessive diaphoresis is seen in heat exhaustion, not heat stroke. (d) ✔ Hot, dry skin is typical in heat stroke.
