Antibiotics
Hi Beth,
Good that Earl's WBCs are a little better and the platelets are holding! That is a positive sign because infections will decrease all counts.
As you know it is very common that they never find the bacteria, virus or fungi that causes infections in patients with neutropenia. They test everything initially and then they have to start treatment at once. Then the antibiotics make it hardly impossible for the bacteria to grow in test tubes even if the antibiotics not really kills the bacteria in the patient.
Clinic and other examinations like X-ray, MR and so on can show where there is an infection.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
