The prognosis depends heavily on the quality of care and timeliness of treatment of severe infections, but also on the possibility of a bone marrow transplant, particularly in cases with malignant transformation. The life expectancy for people with severe congenital neutropenia has improved greatly.
When to use prophylactic antibiotics in neutropenic patients?Prophylaxis to cover the expected period of neutropenia may be considered for the first cycle of treatment in patients with solid tumors or lymphoma who regularly receive regimens that cause severe neutropenia.
Do we need procalcitonin for sepsis?Without quick treatment, sepsis can lead to organ failure or even death. A procalcitonin test can help your health care provider determine if you have sepsis or another serious bacterial infection in the early stages. This may help you get treated promptly and avoid life-threatening complications.
