Research suggests a connection between the gut microbiome and neutropenic fever in cancer patients. The loss of certain microbiota-derived protective metabolites may play a role in distinguishing between infectious and non-infectious cases of neutropenic fever. Studies are exploring the relationships between the gut microbiome, metabolites, and outcomes in patients undergoing cancer treatment, including hematopoietic cell transplantation.
