I have a question. Is MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA the same as NEUROLEPTIC MALIGNANT SYNDROME?
NEUROLEPTIC MALIGNANT SYNDROME is it the same as SEROTONIN SYNDROME?

You're welcome jayesh.
Bela, you asked a good question: it's true that their causes are different and some symptoms differenciate them but all 3 syndromes manifestent by a fever; and rigidity is found in the neuroleptic synd and the serotonin synd. Did you know that malignant hyperthermia is an autosomal dominant condition :!:
