Febrile Neutropenia Profile by PCR - EDTA Blood
50+ booked in last 3 daysOverview
White blood cells are a crucial part of the immune system. They are responsible for defending the body against infections and foreign substances. Having a low white blood cell count can make a person more susceptible to infections as the body's immune system is weakened. The Febrile Neutropenia Profile by PCR is a molecular diagnostic test used to detect infections in patients with febrile neutropenia. Febrile neutropenia refers to a condition where an individual with low neutrophil count (a type of white blood cell) develops a fever, which is a common complication in patients undergoing chemotherapy or with compromised immune systems. The profile typically involves testing EDTA blood samples using PCR technology to detect the presence of specific bacterial and fungal pathogens that commonly cause infections in febrile neutropenic patients. The panel of pathogens included in the test may vary depending on the laboratory and its specific focus or regional considerations.

Doctors may recommend this test if you • have a fever and a low white blood cell count, indicating febrile neutropenia, • are at high risk for serious infections due to factors like chemotherapy or immunosuppression, or • need to determine the specific pathogen causing your infection for targeted treatment.
Abnormal results might suggest bacterial, viral, or fungal infections.
During this test, a small amount of your blood will be collected using a needle. The sample will be sent to the laboratory.
• Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking and about any specific requirements that you have. • Follow any fasting instructions provided by your doctor, if applicable.
