Axillary temperatures recorded with a disposable chemical thermometer (DCT) measured a mean 0.29 degrees C higher than a mercury in glass thermometer (MGT) but differences could be wide. Differences between the same methods were however also wide. The DCT is safe and easy to use. Provided the higher readings are taken into consideration it is a suitable alternative to the MGT.
使用一次性化学体温计（DCT）记录的腋下温度比玻璃水银体温计（MGT）测得的平均高0.29摄氏度，但差异可能很大。然而，相同方法之间的差异也很大。DCT安全且易于使用。如果考虑到较高的读数，它是MGT的合适替代品。
