PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the measurement accuracy of a non-heating type clinical thermometer.SOLUTION: A clinical thermometer 300 for measuring deep body temperature by bringing the thermometer 300 into contact with a body surface of a subject comprises: first and second heat resistors 113, 123 provided with first temperature sensors 111, 121 respectively on the side face contacting the body surface and second temperature sensors 112, 122 respectively on the side face opposite to the side face contacting the body surface; a uniforming member 130 configured so as to cover only the side face opposite to the side face contacting the body surface of the first and second heat resistors 113, 123; a heat insulation member 301 arranged so as to surround the lateral faces of the first and second heat resistors 113, 123; and a protection member 302 of which peripheral edge is fixed by the side face opposite to the side face of the heat insulation member 301 contacting the body surface, and of which center is arranged across a prescribed amount of space from the uniform member 130.
