Abstract

Heatstroke is a medical emergency warranting critical, time sensitive interventions. Due to its infrequent  occurrence inside medical facilities, and symptoms overlapping with other commonly seen conditions in an  emergency setting, the recognition of heatstroke is often undermined. With the ongoing SARS CoV-2 pandemic, Several makeshift field hospitals have been set up in Mumbai, India.  Heatstroke is not a common occurrence in patients infected by the SARS CoV-2 virus. More so, it is almost never  anticipated in hospitalized individuals.  Our case report aims to highlight the unusual presentation of a heat illness occurring inside a field hospital  dedicated to managing Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We hope to sensitize the clinician to this rare event, and  subsequently aim towards preparedness and mitigation for the future strategizing of such field hospitals.
