Universal Fever Thresholds
Threshold Comparison and Accuracy of Temperature Monitoring
Identifying fever may sound simple, but in reality, temperature standards vary widely across regions, devices, and measurement sites. A reading considered “low-grade fever” in the US may be interpreted as normal in China or elevated in Europe. These inconsistencies make accurate diagnosis difficult and complicate any attempt to compare health data across populations. Many consumer thermometers add further uncertainty via differences in calibration.
