Abstract
- The article discusses a study on temporal artery thermometry (TAT) as a potential screening mechanism to detect pediatric fever with inconclusive results and investigates the effectiveness of TAT to detect high rectal fever in children at least 91 days and less than 4 years old. Findings confirm that TAT assessment cannot be substituted for rectal thermometry in young children who cannot comply with oral thermometry.
