Febrile neutropenia (FN) is an oncological emergency and serious complication often resulting from chemotherapy. In patients with a weak or completely suppressed immune system, a fever may be the only sign of an underlying infection and immediate treatment is needed. Using risk evaluation scores, it is possible to stratify individual patient degree of risk. However, all patients warrant immediate antibiotic coverage. Antibiotic treatment of FN is broadened or narrowed based on individualized clinical scenarios. Prophylactic antimicrobials may be used in specific high-risk situations. This article briefly reviews FN, describes risk assessment tools, and discusses treatment and prophylactic options.
发热性中性粒细胞减少症(FN)是一种肿瘤急症和严重并发症,常由化疗引起。在免疫系统薄弱或完全受抑制的患者中,发热可能是潜在感染的唯一迹象,需要立即进行治疗。通过风险评估评分,可以对个体患者的风险程度进行分层。然而,所有患者都需要立即给予抗生素覆盖。FN的抗生素治疗会根据个体化临床情况进行调整,扩大或缩小用药范围。预防性抗菌药物可用于特定的高风险情况。本文简要回顾了FN,描述了风险评估工具,并讨论了治疗和预防方案。
