title: Evaluation of an infrared thermal detection system for fever recognition during the H1N1 influenza pandemic.
abstract: Infrared thermal detection systems (ITDSs) have been utilized in several countries to screen for fever in travelers. Since fever screening with an ITDS is rapid and noninvasive, this technology may be useful as an infection control measure in clinical settings during a pandemic.
