The blood used for the analysis was obtained by the method of direct puncture of the heart. We analyzed the biochemical (glucose) and haematological parameters (RBC, WBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and haematological indices). The effect of short-term hyperthermia leads to a statistically significant increase of the number of erythrocytes, leukocytes and glucose concentration, whereas<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>statistically significant reduction in hemoglobin concentration and hematological indices is evident.</span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="BS-LATN-BA" style="line-height: 110%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: BS-LATN-BA;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="BS-LATN-BA" style="line-height: 110%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: BS-LATN-BA;">Key words: hyperthermia, haemogram, glucose concentration</span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span
