Clinical haematology
A 62-year-old woman attends the emergency department with feeling shivery and unwell for six hours. She had her second cycle of chemotherapy for breast cancer 10 days ago. Her temperature is 38.4°C, heart rate 112/min, blood pressure 104/62 mmHg, respiratory rate 20/min and oxygen saturation 97% on air. She has no known drug allergies. An intravenous cannula has been sited and blood cultures and a full blood count have been taken. The laboratory says the count will take about an hour.
