Temperature measurements during FN (n = 3391).
Fig 2.
Absolute neutrophil counts in blood counts during FN (n = 295).
Displayed are the absolute neutrophil counts up to 1 G/L.
Fig 3.
Proportion of FN episodes with modifications of management for persisting fever, in reality and virtually according to different TLDF.
Displayed are the proportions, plus their 95% CI as vertical lines, of FN episodes with additional blood cultures taken, with an escalation of antibiotics and with adding on antifungals, respectively, for persisting fever. Squares indicate management in reality, and circles indicate management simulated, strictly applying LimitStandard and different LimitLow.

Management of FN episodes diagnosed in reality, and virtually at different temperature limits defining fever.
Fig 4.
Discharge delay according to TLDF.
Displayed are proportions of FN episodes (filled red circles) with their 95% CI (vertical lines) and the median delay of all episodes in hours (filled blue circle).
