Low neutrophils
Hi Steven,
Hopefully your father will manage well when he is getting antibiotics. The first time you get neutropenic fever it is almost always due to bacteria that can be treated without difficulties.
Next time it will perhaps be fungi or virus that can be much more difficult to treat. Your father now ought to get Leukine for example 2 injections/week (he can take them himself) as long as his bone marrow can't produce enough white blood cells without Leukine or similar drugs. He really needs this type of supportive therapy even if it is expensive.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
