Environmental hyperthermia of newborn - what does this mean

What happens during the disease - environmental hyperthermia of newborn
Environmental hyperthermia of newborn is a condition in which a newborn's body temperature rises due to environmental factors such as being in a warm room or being covered with too many blankets. this condition is caused by an inability of the newborn to regulate their own body temperature, as their body's thermoregulatory system is still immature. this leads to an increased heat production and a decrease in heat dissipation, resulting in a rise in body temperature.
