Authors' recommendations:
A treatment guideline development committee was organized under the initiative of the National Evidence-based Healthcare Collaborating Agency with a methodology specialist and experts recommended by 8 academic societies: the Korean Society of Infectious Diseases, Korean Society for Immunocompromised Host Infections, Korean Cancer Association, Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology, Korean Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, Korean Society of Hematology, Korean Society for Chemotherapy, and Korean Association for Clinical Oncology.
The key questions were selected from the areas of the definition of neutropenic fever, the initial evaluation and the infection risks, antibiotic prophylaxis, initial antibiotic therapy for febrile neutropenic patients, re-evaluation after 3-5 days and change of antibiotics, the use of glycopeptide, catheter-related infections in febrile neutropenic patients, and the use of antifungal agents. Agreement was reached through a systematic review of the literature and discussion in a subcommittee.
