Fever in the neutropenic host.
Infect Dis Clin North Am. 1996; (4): 777-96
Fever in the neutropenic patient following myelosuppressive chemotherapy is a medical emergency. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy can dramatically reduce infection-related morbidity and mortality. This article reviews the rationale and methodology of treatment as well as its applicability to other neutropenic states. The utility of adjunct therapy with granulocyte- stimulating compounds is also discussed.
