Sorry, I hit post too soon.
While in the hospital I had Neupogen shots daily, after several days the WBC and ANC would rise; and the fever would go away. Also had round the clock antibiotics thru an IV.
Neutropenic fever seems to be common with MDS/AML patients.
This video describes neutropenic fevers:

I hope it will open for you, you may need to paste it into your browser.
I've lived with the ANC generally below .50 (500) since 2009, my wife and I are OCD about cleanliness. I never touch door knobs, faucet handles, etc., when we are out, use a paper towel or napkin. Avoid anyone coughing, wear a mask in the doctors office (it seems to scare others away from you which is good, they think you are sick-HA). Never shake hands with anyone.
Hope this may help.
