摘要：

Glass-mercury rectal temperatures were compared with aural temperatures (''rectal equivalent'' mode) in 234 children from birth to age 36 months. Sixty-two percent of measurements were divergent by; at least 0.3 degrees C, 35% by greater than 0.6 degrees C. The aural infrared thermometer cannot be recommended for these ages; measurements were unacceptably inaccurate.
