Abstract :
It is impossible to measure central body tempera-ture in a living body. Therefore, usually, body temperature is measured in the oral cavity (sub-lingual temperature), anus (rectal temperature), ear (tympanic temperature), armpit (axillary tem-perature) and others. In most cases, oral and rec-tal temperatures are usually used. On the other hand, in Japan in order to respect hygiene measures, body temperature is often measured in the axilla .
