Use of oral mucosal neutrophil counts to detect the onset and resolution of profound neutropenia following high‐dose myelosuppressive chemotherapy
Abstract
Severe neutropenia following cytotoxic, anti‐cancer chemotherapy is well‐known to be associated with an increased risk of infections that may be life‐threatening, particularly if not treated immediately. Consequently, serial measurements of neutrophil counts in peripheral blood are done routinely following the administration of high‐dose myelosuppressive chemotherapy in order to monitor the onset, severity, and duration of iatrogenic neutropenia. We have studied a non‐invasive method of quantifying neutrophils recoverable from the oral mucosa, a normal tissue site of neutrophil turnover, as an alternative approach for monitoring severe, chemotherapy‐induced neutropenia. This method is based on the quantification of fluorochrome‐stained neutrophils present in timed mouthwash specimens. Blood neutrophil (ANC) and mucosal neutrophil counts (MNC) were measured repeatedly in 23 patients who had been treated with dose‐intensive chemotherapy for a variety of indications. All 23 patients developed profound neutropenia (ANC < 100/mm 3), and 19 developed neutropenic fever (>101°F) during the 2 weeks following treatment. Nadirs of neutropenia defined by MNC were significantly less prolonged than those defined by the ANC. Furthermore, the onset and resolution of neutropenic fever coincided more precisely with nadirs of neutropenia defined by the MNC than with those defined by the ANC. Our findings indicate that oral mucosal neutrophil counts predict the timing of clinical events associated with neutropenia (e.g., the onset and resolution of fever) with significantly greater accuracy than blood neutrophil counts.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
