The prime risk to patients with short-duration neutropenia (defined as neutropenia of less than 14 days) is bacterial infection, which is reduced by the administration of prophylactic antibiotics, and possibly by the use of clean food, sterile water, and protection against transmission of organisms from healthcare workers' hands.
