A person's "normal" body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit can fluctuate 1 degree Fahrenheit or more above or below 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the location at which the temperature is taken. A spike in body temperature is a fever which would be an oral temperature in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit in an adult and 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit in a child. Brain damage can occur if the fever is over 107.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Hypothermia is when the body temperature falls below 97 degrees Fahrenheit.

Because they don't go that high. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. Body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius, so there's no need for a clinical thermometer to cover a range much higher than expected for body temperature; they might need to go up to say 45 tops (and if someone has a body temperature of 45 degrees Celcius, they're either dead or dying).

What effects does the elevated temperature have on the other vital signs?
As your temperature goes up, so will your heart rate. Your blood pressure may go up, at first, but will eventually go down, in response to your rapid heart rate. As your blood pressure drops (it may go very low, esp. if you experience shaking chills), your respiratory rate will go up in an attempt to oxygenate all of your body's cells.
