What is a sign of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS)?

  1. Hypothermia

  2. Hypertension

  3. Hyperthermia

  4. Hypoglycemia

The correct answer is: Hyperthermia

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is a rare, but serious, idiosyncratic reaction to antipsychotic medications. One of the hallmark signs of NMS is hyperthermia, which is a marked increase in body temperature. This can be a life-threatening symptom and requires immediate medical attention. Hypothermia, hypertension, and hypoglycemia are not typically associated with Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome.
