title: [Does measuring axillo-rectal temperature difference help in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis?].
abstract: The value of the axillorectal temperature difference in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis was estimated with the aid of statistical methods. The axillorectal temperature difference turned out to be of very low discriminant ability between acute appendicitis and non-acute conditions.
