Susceptibility to infection in patients with neutropenia: the role of the innate immune system.

British journal of haematology - 1 Jun 2005

Neth O W, Bajaj-Elliott M, Turner M W, Klein N J

Abstract excerpt

Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia increases the risk of infection. There appears to be a wide variability in the severity and length of infective episodes. Susceptibility to infections is determined by the underlying malignant disease and its treatment, environmental factors (e.g. nutritional state of the patient and hygiene) and genetically determined variations of the immune system. The majority of primary...
