1 Preventing Infections When Your White Blood Cell Count is Low Low white blood cell (WBC) count is called neutropenia. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, other treatments or an illness may cause a low WBC count. A low WBC count makes you more likely to get an infection. Often the only sign of an infection in a person with cancer is a fever. Most people getting cancer treatments are told to check their temperature 2 times each day while their WBC count is low. Your doctor or nurse may give you other instructions. Do not take any medicines such as Tylenol to lower your temperature unless directed by your doctor. When your WBC is low, you will need to take extra care to prevent infection. To Help Prevent Infection: Hygiene Wash your hands for at least 15 seconds with warm water and soap. Wash before eating, when preparing food, and after using the toilet. Anyone caring for you should do the same. Shower or take a bath every day if you are allowed. Do not take bubble baths or use hot tubs. Check your skin closely for cuts, rashes, redness, and swelling. Call your doctor if you have problems. After you urinate or have a bowel movement, always wipe from your front to your back. Wash your hands. Use an electric razor for shaving to avoid cuts. Use a soft bristle toothbrush to clean your teeth after eating and before bedtime. If you have dentures, clean them in the morning and evening. Inspect your mouth each day. Call your doctor if you have any redness, white patches, cuts, or bumps. 1
