Triage temperature in the Emergency department (ED) constitutes a diagnostic and prognostic marker of infection. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of community-acquired bacterial infections and the diagnostic ability of conventional biological markers in patients presenting to the ED with hypothermia.
