Tympanic temperature versus temporal temperature in patients with pyrexia and chills. [PDF]
Medicine (Baltimore), 2016 Accurate body temperature (BT) measurement is critical for immediate and correct estimation of core BT; measurement of changes in BT can provide physicians the initial information for selecting appropriate diagnostic approach and may prevent unnecessary diagnostic investigation.
