What are the Normal and Abnormal Temperature Ranges?
Normal body temperature ranges from 97°F to 99°F (36.1°C to 37.2°C). Deviations can be classified as: - Hypothermia: Below 95°F (35°C), can be life-threatening. - Fever (Pyrexia): Above 100.4°F (38°C), often indicates infection. - Hyperthermia: Elevated body temperature due to failed thermoregulation, not necessarily due to infection.
