Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in adults who are
old, frail, have a weakened immune system, or neonates and infants. Please
seek immediate professional advice when a temperature elevation occurs on
persons whom are:
• Neonates and infants under 3 months
• Over 60 years of age
• Having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive,
cancer chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)
• Bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recovering from
surgery)
• A transplant patient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)
Fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly patients.
It is important to know each individual's normal temperature when they are well.
This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when
healthy to determine normal temperature.
