Exertional heat stroke with pronounced presentation of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia: A case report
This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of EHS, particularly that with significant hemolytic anemia and concurrent organ failure. Clinicians should maintain a high level of suspicion for these complications in patients displaying symptoms of heat-related illness, especially when caused by strenuous activity, as early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to improve patient outcomes.
