  2. Human body temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature

    Consequently, each type of measurement has a range of normal temperatures. The range for normal human body temperatures, taken orally, is 36.8 ± 0.5 °C (98.2 ± 0.9 °F). [12] This means that any oral temperature between 36.3 and 37.3 °C (97.3 and 99.1 °F) is likely to be normal. [13] The normal human body temperature is often stated as 36. ...

  3. Fever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fever

    A range for normal temperatures has been found. [8] Central temperatures, such as rectal temperatures, are more accurate than peripheral temperatures. [30] Fever is generally agreed to be present if the elevated temperature [31] is caused by a raised set point and: Temperature in the anus (rectum/rectal) is at or over 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5 ...

  4. Thermal balance of the underwater diver - Wikipedia

    [20] [21] The normal human body temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F). [24] Hyperthermia requires an elevation from the temperature that would otherwise be expected. Such elevations range from mild to extreme; body temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F) can be life-threatening.

  5. Hyperthermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermia

    The normal human body temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) in the late afternoon. [2] Hyperthermia requires an elevation from the temperature that would otherwise be expected. Such elevations range from mild to extreme; body temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F) can be life-threatening.

  6. Thermal comfort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort

    Satisfaction with the thermal environment is important because thermal conditions are potentially life-threatening for humans if the core body temperature reaches conditions of hyperthermia, above 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F), [11] [12] or hypothermia, below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F). [13]

  7. Rubella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubella

    In children, rubella normally causes symptoms that last two days and include: Rash begins on the face which spreads to the rest of the body. Low fever of less than 38.3 °C (100.9 °F). Posterior cervical lymphadenopathy. [14] In older children and adults, additional symptoms may be present, including [citation needed] Swollen glands

  8. Fever of unknown origin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fever_of_unknown_origin

    Fever of unknown origin (FUO) refers to a condition in which the patient has an elevated temperature for which no cause can be found despite investigations by one or more qualified physicians. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] If the cause is found, it is usually a diagnosis of exclusion , eliminating all possibilities until only the correct explanation remains.

  9. Hypothermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia

    Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F) in humans. [2] Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia, there is shivering and mental confusion.
