Duration of Therapy

  • Duration of therapy is dictated by the organism and site of infection
  • With unexplained fever appropriate antibiotics should continue for at least the duration of neutropenia (until ANC is ≥ 500 cells/mm3) or longer if clinically necessary
  • If an appropriate treatment course has been completed and all signs and symptoms of a documented infection have resolved, patients who remain neutropenic may resume oral prophylaxis until marrow recovery
