| Cohort | Patients with an underlying hematologic malignancy at the time of diagnosis and who received antineo-plastic chemotherapy and had developed neutropenia (neutrophils 5 500/mm3) and fever (temperature 388C) were included in the study. A total of 57 febrile neutropenic fever episodes from 56 patients were studied to measure PCT, CRP, neopterin, IL-6 and IL-8 at diagnosis of fever of infectious origin. |
