Description
Markus Kleinberger and colleagues profiled cancer patients who reached a Vienna emergency department with fever and very low white blood cells from 2016 to 2019. The 2026 paper covers 90 adults whose chemotherapy had left them open to infection, tracking which cancers, microbes, and early lab signs lined up with dying in hospital or within three months.
Death rates ran 18 percent in hospital and 29 percent by three months, with spread to liver or lung, palliative treatment aims, and high inflammation markers marking the worst outlooks. Emergency teams can use the profile to spot high-risk cases faster and weigh stronger early support.
