Try not to worry too much about a slight fever. I've had a fever ranging from 99-100 everyday for months now... I keep track of it several times a day. Buy a thermometer that reads from the ear, they are the most accurate and fast way of reading.
The hematologist said that having a low grade fever can be part of the disease and to call if my fever gets above 100.5. They ran a multitude of tests trying to find an infection at first, but there wasn't an infection to explain fever. I'd say keep monitoring fever, but having a low grade fever of 99.5 without infection isn't abnormal for MDS as far as I've been told.
Best of luck.
