PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermometer for measuring the body temperature of a patient in two different regions. SOLUTION: This thermometer 100 includes a body 102 and a probe 104 fastened to the body. A proper temperature sensor 106, such as a thermister, is disposed at the end 108 of the probe 102. A supporting arm 112 is pivotably attached to the body 102 so that it can pivot between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the support arm 112 disposed in the body 102 so that the probe 104 can be used to measure oral or rectal temperature. In the open position, the supporting arm 112 is disposed away from the body 102 to provide a retaining surface for positioning the probe 104 to measure axillary temperature.
