Antifungal prophylaxis with absorbable agents might have an impact on the rate of documented bacteremia in febrile neutropenia.
Neutropenia means low numbers of neutrophils in the blood and agranulocytosis means an absence of neutrophils in the blood and agranulocytosis means an absence of neutrophils.
All patients required a dose modification of gemcitabine at some point in their therapy; the primary reason was thrombocytopenia and/or neutropenia.
These complications are associated with neutropenia, a condition in which the blood has an abnormally low number of neutrophils.
The connection between hyper-IgM syndrome and neutropenia was not as of 2004 yet fully understood.
