AbstractThe accidental hypothermia is a disorder of corporal termoregulation, defined as a central temperature below 35 masculine C. According to the intensity may be classified in mild (35-32.2 masculine C), moderate (32.2-28 masculine C) and severe (below 28 masculine C). The most frequent causes are the exposure to cold, use of depressant drugs of central nervous system and hypoglycemia, although there are other less frequent. We present a case of moderate hypothermia due to generalized psoriasis which required admission in the Intensive Care Unit of Hospital García Orcoyen. The termoregulation, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of accidental hypothermia are reviewed.
