Fever due to bacteremia under chemotherapy has not been widely recognized among clinicians. We experienced a 72-year-old man with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, who was complicated with bacteremia-induced fever under R-CHOP chemotherapy. We summarized 6 cases including ours, suggesting that fever without neutropenia developing around day 6 from starting chemotherapy is a possible symptom caused by bacteremia. We should discriminate fever due to bacteremia if fever emerged before myelosuppression in the course of chemotherapy.
化疗期间由菌血症引起的发热在临床医生中尚未得到广泛认识。我们遇到一名72岁的弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤男性患者,在接受R-CHOP化疗时并发了菌血症引起的发热。我们总结了包括我们的病例在内的6例病例,提示在化疗开始后第6天左右出现的无中性粒细胞减少的发热可能是菌血症引起的症状。如果在化疗过程中骨髓抑制之前出现发热,我们应该鉴别是否为菌血症引起的发热。
