It's a bad fever. Not good.

Very high temperature disturbs normal metabolic processes especially enzyme activity. Enzymes are proteins that help catalyze processess such as conversion of glucose to ATP which is the usable energy of the body. At 41 celsius (106F), the activity of these enzymes is increased and therefore increases the overall metabolic rate. This will affect various system in the body. In the cardiovascular system, increased heart rate may be observed. In the CNS on the other hand, seizure threshhold is lowered. In gthe muscular system, hyperpyrexia may destroy muscle cells an release myoglobins which may then be deposited in the kidneys and clog up the these and cause renal failure. Hyperpyrexia also causes dehydration. If no replaced, dehydration may be a complication and may cause electrolyte imbalance and also hypotension and shock.

Higher temperatures denaturates enzymes and lowers its activity and disrupts normal metabolic proceses. At these higher temperatures, cells die.

Such a high temperature will denature proteins.One of the most important protein molecule in our body is enzyme,which catalyses almost all metabolic reactions in our body.Without enzymes,the metabolic reactions in our body would occur very slowly that virtually they don't occur at all.So,if enzymes are denatured by a high temperature,the metabolic reactions in our body are totally disrupted,which is why it is dangerous.

Because to get a fever that high, you have to be pretty darned sick. The fever itself isn't particularly dangerous, but whatever causes it is likely to be a real problem.

your body can only operate at peak efficiency at 98.6 F if you look at chemical reaction rates at different temperatures, you'll see that reactions can happen many times faster or slower with a change of just a few degrees. you can see how this would throw your body out of wack.

Hyperpyrexia inactivates almost all enzymes.
