ABSTRACT
We measured the oral and axillary temperatures of 100 individuals (including 40 females) in the medical wards. Twenty six had fever ranging from 37.3 degrees C to 40.5 degrees C while the rest had normal temperature. Although the oral temperature was higher than axillary temperature in all the cases, there was no correlation between the two; in one case the difference was as high as 1 degrees C. We conclude that while recording temperature the site must be clearly stated, and no attempt must be made to extrapolate the axillary to the oral temperature.
