The Outcomes of Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Oncology Patients With Non-neutropenic Fever: A Scoping Review of the Literature.

Background: There are established and well-followed guidelines for pediatric oncology patients who have neutropenic fever. However, there are no explicit criteria for this patient group, and over 50% of pediatric oncology patients with fever do not present with neutropenia.

Objective: In this scoping review, we have explored the outcomes of non-neutropenic fever in pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients with cancer-directed treatment.
