| Core Tip |
There has been a proven reduction in respiratory viral infections (e.g., flu, common cold, etc.) with the implementation of social distancing and masking during coronavirus disease 2019 mitigation efforts. It has been theorized that up to 20% of febrile neutropenia is caused by viral infections. We found a significant reduction in the incidence of febrile neutropenia following the implementation of public health interventions, namely masking and social distancing, with the overall incidence of febrile neutropenia decreasing by approximately 13%. The largest reduction in febrile neutropenia was found for hematologic malignancies where the incidence of febrile neutropenia declined by 22%. |
