Relation of non-chemotherapy-related neutropenia and infection risk

Absolute neutrophil count	Risk management
>1500/microL (>1.5 x 10⁹/liter)	None
1000 to 1500/microL	No significant risk of infection; fever can be managed on an outpatient basis
500 to 999/microL	Some risk of infection; fever can occasionally be managed on an outpatient basis
200 to 499/microL	Significant risk of infection; fever should always be managed on an inpatient basis with parenteral antibiotics; few clinical signs of infection
<200/microL	Very significant risk of infection; fever should always be managed on an inpatient basis with parenteral antibiotics; few or no clinical signs of infection

The correlation between absolute neutrophil count and infectious risk only applies to conditions in which the bone marrow neutrophil reserve is diminished. Refer to UpToDate topics on neutropenia for further discussions of the causes of neutropenia and the estimation of infectious risk.
