(Post Mortem Caloricity- Normally temperature falls after death but temp increases (upto 1.5 to 2°C) due to exercise, struggle prior to death. It is seen when- (1) Heat regulation center damaged, due to Sunstroke, some nervous disorders. (2) Increased heat production in muscles, due to convulsions as in tetanus, strychnine poisoning. (3) Excessive bacterial activity, due to septicaemia, cholera.) (Lower temperature than Normal after death- Collapse, CCF. During sleep rate of fall of temperature 0.5 — 1°C.)
In which of the following conditions postmortem caloricity may be seen in death due to:
| A |
Massive haemorrhage |
|
| B |
Cyanide poisoning |
|
| C |
Corrosive poisoning |
|
| D |
Septicemia |

| A |
Massive haemorrhage |
|
| B |
Cyanide poisoning |
|

Corrosive poisoning |
|
| D |
Septicemia |
In this condition, the temperature of the body remains raised for the first two hours or so after death.
