Racial Differences in Detection of Fever Using Temporal vs Oral Temperature Measurements—Reply. jamanetwork.com In Reply We thank the authors for their comments about our recent article exploring racial differences in the accuracy of temporal thermometers. We agree with Dr Newman that self-reported race is an imperfect proxy for skin color. If differences in skin color are the basis of the temperature differences observed between oral and temporal thermometers, the magnitude of the difference would be better measured using an objective measure of skin color in a prospective study rather than self-reported race in a retrospective data analysis.

Racial Differences in Detection of Fever Using Temporal vs Oral Temperature Measurements. jamanetwork.com To the Editor A recent Research Letter reported that temperatures measured by temporal thermometers are lower than those measured orally in Black patients but not in White patients.

Because people can have a range of skin colors despite their so-called race, the results of this study would have been more meaningful if it had used a biological parameter with one of the more objective measurements of skin color, such as a spectrophotometer or one of the visual scales.

Keats himself would eventually succumb to tuberculosis as a young man aged only 25. Surely such onerous work conditions contribut…
