  • Title: The changing face of febrile neutropenia-from monotherapy to moulds to mucositis. Mucositis: from febrile neutropenia to febrile mucositis.
    Author: Blijlevens NM, Logan RM, Netea MG.
    Journal: J Antimicrob Chemother; 2009 May; 63 Suppl 1():i36-40. PubMed ID: 19372181.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of patients with cancer is often accompanied by life-threatening complications caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. They are known to result from neutropenia, but damage to the mucosal barrier as well as the humoral and cellular immune defences play a significant role in various infectious complications and aggravate diverse inflammatory processes. The article describes the journey from febrile neutropenia to febrile mucositis in patients treated with immunocompromising therapy.
