Febrile Neutropenia

Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Oncology Patients with Febrile Neutropenia, an initiative by Aliança AMARTE, Instituto Beaba, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

This material was carefully created to help standardize care and provide clear, practical guidance for managing febrile neutropenia in children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment.

Our goal is to support healthcare institutions by ensuring that all professionals caring for pediatric oncology patients have access to up-to-date, evidence-based information.

What is the guideline?
It is a material co-created by Aliança AMARTE, Instituto Beaba, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to help standardize and regulate care for febrile neutropenic cancer patients in referral institutions in Brazil.

Who can receive the printed material?
Healthcare institutions that care for children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment, such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialized centers.

I am a healthcare professional, why can’t I have a printed guide?
Printed copies are limited, and since this is a technical guideline, we believe the best way to expand access is to send them directly to healthcare institutions. This way, more team members can consult the material in the workplace, promoting integrated and standardized care.

Where can I learn more about Beaba’s projects?
You can visit our website and follow us on social media!
