Febrile neutropenia is having a fever of ≥38.3 ºC or ≥38 ºC over an hour and neutropenia that is having an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of <500 neutrophils/mm3 or an ANC <1000 neutrophils/mm3 expected to decline to ≤500 neutrophils/mm3 over the next 48 hours.
Fever is frequently the only indication of infection in the neutropenic patient.
The patient must be examined to determine the potential sites of infection and the causative organisms.
Neutropenic patients at the first sign of infection (eg fever) should be treated promptly (within 1 hour after triage from initial presentation) with empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics.
For further information regarding the management of Febrile Neutropenia, please refer to Disease Algorithm for the Treatment Guideline.
