Parkinsonism Hyperpyrexia Syndrome – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/211461908

The parkinsonism-hyperpyrexia syndrome (PHS) is a rare but potentially fatal complication seen in Parkinson's disease patients, most commonly following abrupt reduction or cessation of antiparkinson medications. Clinically it resembles neuroleptic malignant syndrome with: rigidity, pyrexia, reduced consciousness level, autonomic instability, and serum creatine kinase elevation.
