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.
Neutropenia (noo-troe-PEE-nee-uh) is an abnormally low level of neutrophils. Neutrophils are a common type of white blood cell important to fighting off infections â particularly those caused by bacteria. For adults, counts of less than 1,500 neutrophils per microliter of blood are considered to be neutropenia. For children, the cell count indicating neutropenia varies with age. Some people have lower-than-average neutrophil counts, but not an increased risk of infection.
