Additional Info

Heatstroke and sunstroke are synonyms for each other
It's a type of severe heat illness caused by exposure to hot environmental conditions, that results in a body temperature greater than 40.0°C with confusion; other symptoms may include red, dry or damp skin, headache, and dizziness. Onset can be sudden or gradual. Complications may include seizures (e.g. Seizure, NOS), Rhabdomyolysis, or kidney failure (e.g. Kidney,_acute_renal_failure_NOS).
If such high fever and symptoms/signs occurred without exposure to hot environmental conditions (e.g. infection-induced fever) that would not be heatstroke.
For similar conditions, consider Adverse effect of heat or light, NOS.
