Hi Margie,
Since I had neutropenic fever Sept 2007 with a neutrophil count of 0.1 I have been treated with Neupogen and have good WBC counts but I am afraid of new infections so I follow the advices in the sites for people with neutropenia. I have not had any infection since I left the hospital 7 months ago
.
In this site they recommend you to take special care if your absolute neutrophil count is less than 500 (page 5):
