ABSTRACT
Ingestion of 3,4-methylene dioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly known as "Ecstasy", can produce toxicity that is characterised by hyperthermia, coagulopathy, rhabdomyolysis and renal failure. We report a fatality associated with MDMA ingestion and briefly review the current literature on MDMA-induced hyperthermia.
