Neutropenic Fever Guidelines

Neutropenic fever typically lasts as long as the underlying neutropenia persists and until the infection is effectively treated, which can vary from a few days to several weeks.

To prevent neutropenic fever, maintain good hygiene, avoid crowds and sick people, and follow your healthcare provider's guidelines regarding medications and monitoring.

While a fever is a key indicator, some people with neutropenia might not exhibit a high fever but can still have an infection, so other symptoms like chills, fatigue, and malaise should be closely monitored.
