Europeans, do you consider a body temperature of 37.2 or 37.3 C normal?
wikipedia says
Quote:
Measurement
When a patient has or is suspected of having a fever, that person's body temperature is measured using a thermometer. At a first glance, fever is present if:
- axillar temperature (in the armpit) is at, or higher than 37.2 degrees Celsius (99 degrees Fahrenheit)
|
and that's been always my experience before. But now I'm talking with somone ( a Dutch medicine student ) and he tries to convince me that 37.3 not only isn't fever but IS completely normal
do you agree?
EDIT: I know this thread may seem the most useless of the day but it's just a theoretical discussion
