QCD sum rules at finite temperature, like the ones at zero temperature
, require the coefficients of local operators, which arise in the shor
t distance expansion of the thermal average of two-point functions of
currents. We extend the configuration space method, applied earlier at
zero temperature, to the case at finite temperature. We find that, up
to dimension four, two new operators arise, in addition to the two app
earing already in the vacuum correlation functions. It is argued that
the new operators would contribute substantially to the sum rules, whe
n the temperature is not too low..
