Prospective Evaluation of Clinical and Laboratory Profiles of Febrile and Afebrile Immunosuppressed Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Immunosuppressed patients are at higher risk of delayed diagnosis and atypical presentations in the emergency department (ED), requiring prompt management. This study compares febrile (≥37.5 °C) and afebrile (<37.5 °C) immunosuppressed patients admitted to the ED regarding clinical and laboratory parameters, including blood and urine tests, vital signs, final diagnoses, outcomes, and mortality. Materials and Methods: Eighty immunosuppressed patients aged 18-82 were prospectively evaluated from May 2019 to May 2020. Data on blood and urine tests, final diagnoses, outcomes, and mortality were recorded using a standardized form. Results: Among the 80 patients, 44 (55%) were female and 36 (45%) were male, with a mean age of 58.5 ± 14.72 years. Th
