Background Neutropenia is a common side effect of myelosuppressive chemotherapy that increases the risk of infection, which is typically signaled by fever. When neutropenic patients develop fever (ie, febrile neutropenia [FN]), the likelihood

Introduction: Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a major dose-limiting toxicity of myelosuppressive chemotherapy that can result in hospitalization, dose reductions or treatment delays and compromised clinical outcomes. National Comprehensive Cancer
