1868年，德国临床医生温德利希以专著的形式发表了一篇令人信服的论文，证明了测量体温在各种疾病中的价值。这项工作很快被翻译成其他语言，定期测量体温的做法很快成为世界各地的标准。因此，温度计成为医疗实践中使用的第一种精密仪器。当然，早在温德利希之前，医生们就已经知道，疾病有时表现为体温升高：事实上，“发烧”一词开始被用来指代某种或多种疾病。本杰明·拉什（Benjamin Rush）坚持认为“只有一种发烧”，但到了19世纪早期，临床医生已经能够纯粹根据临床理由区分其中的一些，比如伤寒和斑疹伤寒。临床测温仪的引入恰好与巴斯德的发现和细菌学黄金时代的开始同时出现；因此，很快就不能再接受说病人
In 1868 Wunderlich, a German clinician, published in monograph form a convincing demon-stration of the value of measuring the body tem-perature in various diseases. This work was soon translated into other languages (1), and the practice of making regular measurements of body temperature quickly became standard through-out the world. Thus the thermometer became the first instrument of precision to be used in medical practice. Long before Wunderlich, of course, phy-sicians had known that illness was sometimes manifested by increased body warmth: in fact the word “Fever” came to be used to designate a certain form or forms of illness. Benjamin Rush maintained that there was “only one fever," but by the early part of the nineteenth century clini-cians were able to distinguish between some of them, such as typhoid and typhus fevers, purely on clinical grounds. The introduction of clinical thermometry happened to come at the same time as the discoveries of Pasteur and the beginning of the Golden Age of Bacteriology; soon, therefore, it was no longer acceptable to say that a patient
