Non-Contact Infrared Thermometry in Febrile Infants

Among 250 infants approached for the study, 7 (2.8%) were aged less than 28 days and 243 (97.2%) were aged from one month to one year. The mean (SD) infrared thermometer and temperature recordings of mercury-in-glass thermometer were 37.6 (0.91)°C and 37.6 (2.49) °C, respectively; mean difference -0.016 (95% CI: -0.32, 0.29). There was a significant correlation between NCIT and axillary thermometry measurements (r=0.22; P
