Neutropenic fever is a single oral temperature of 38.3 Âº C (101 Âº F) or a temperature of greater than 38.0 Âº C (100.4 Âº F) sustained for more than 1 hour in a patient with neutropenia. Upon initial evaluation, each patient should be assessed for risk of complications from severe infection.
A low white blood cell count or âneutropeniaâ is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of neutrophils in the circulating blood. Neutrophils are a specific kind of white blood cell that help prevent and fight infections. The most common reason that cancer patients experience neutropenia is as a side effect of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia increases a patientâs risk of infection and disrupts cancer treatment. Fortunately, neutropenia can be prevented through the use of white blood cell growth factors.
