1) Febrile neutropenia occurs when chemotherapy causes low neutrophil counts, increasing risk of infection. Fever may be the only sign. 2) Patients are classified as low or high risk. High risk factors include hospitalization, comorbidities, and anticipated prolonged neutropenia. 3) Treatment depends on risk level. Low risk patients may receive oral antibiotics, while high risk receive IV antibiotics targeting common pathogens. Site-specific therapies may also be used.
