By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Jul 20 2023Reviewed by Sophia Coveney Scientists have reviewed the existing literature to provide evidence of the effectiveness of the low-bacterial diet in reducing mortality rates, infection incidence, and improving the quality of life in neutropenic cancer patients. This review is available in Nutrients.

Neutropenia is a condition that is characterized by a significant decrease in the number of neutrophils. Related StoriesLBD restricts the consumption of uncooked vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish. Additionally, it also restricts the consumption of soft cheese due to its higher risk of contamination.
