“…The management of postoperative fevers is well represented in the literature (Angel, Blasier, & Allison, 1994;De la Torre, Mandel, & Goff, 2003;Fanning et al, 1998;Fischer, Fegelman, & Johannigman, 1999;Freischlag & Busuttil, 1983;Hobar et al, 1998;Merjanian, Kiriakos, Dorey, Apel, & Oppenheim, 1998;Yeung, Buck, & Filler, 1982). The management of fevers in neutropenic cancer patients is also well established in adult and pediatric oncology and is reflected in the abundance of current literature (Ammann et al, 2003;Baorto et al, 2001;Elting, Rubenstein, Rolston, & Bodey, 1997;Hughes et al, 2002;Orudjev & Lange, 2002;Sepkowitz, 2005;Sipsas et al, 2005;Wehl et al, 1999). Unfortunately, there are no publications focusing specifically on the management of postoperative fevers in pediatric oncology patients.…”
