Why does MDS cause fevers?
Does anyone know why it is said that fevers can be associated with MDS?
I have had a low grade fever (99-100.1) every afternoon and evening for months now. I've been blood cultured, x-rayed, and CT scanned and have no sign of an infection. I am not neutropenic. So, what is the theory behind fevers and MDS? Is this typical?
Thanks for any advice!
